Widows and Remarriage: About Tammy Trent

One of my Facebook friends is a woman named Tammy Trent. She's a talented Christian singer, from Michigan but now living in Nashville Tennessee (where so many Christian singers live). She fell in love and married a man almost the same time that she became a Christian. (She was very young at the time, but they waited until she was in her early twenties to get married, as did my own parents.) Her stage name of Trent was the first name of her husband, Trent. (Her married surname seems to have been Lenderink.)

YouTube has several Tammy Trent videos. The one at http://youtu.be/cX2_gwG6cSI tells her story, in relation to the tragic death of her husband in a diving accident in Jamaica. http://youtu.be/0AAwEEVi2W0 also tells that story.

Trent's body was recovered around the same time as the tragic attack on 9-11-2001. (That must have been VERY difficult, since most people were so preoccupied with the terrorist attack that they had little time left over for her private tragedy.) She also tells the story on her own web site, at https://www.tammytrent.com/index.php/about.

Tammy is probably not gorgeous enough to be a supermodel (e.g., Cindy Crawford), but she's still pretty enough for my own tastes.

The fact is that there are attractive women who are "available", some of whom have lost their husbands to death, and some of whom have lost their husbands to divorce. (Of course, there are also women who have never been married, but the number of such women in my own age bracket is so ridiculously small that it's hardly worthy of my attention.)

I am unlikely to visit Nashville in the near future, Even if I did that, the chances are good that I'd never bump into Tammy. But there are plenty of available women in or near Whatcom County. I just need to make a love connection to such a woman. I deeply yearn to do that. I've been single for my entire life, and I'm tired of it.

I freely admit that the desire to experience sexual intercourse is one of my motivations. But there's more to marriage than sexual pleasure. Having a "soul mate" is a matter of committing one's self to someone who shares one's values and interests to some extent.

Having a helpmate is not always a smooth experience, but I firmly believe that it's worthwhile, regardless of whether or not a couple has children, and regardless of whether or not those children came into existence via normal reproduction, or via adoption.

This blog does not have a huge number of readers, but if you're a widow or divorcee who longs for a spouse as much as I do, please feel free to call me (360-201-6473) or e-mail me (mark_w_pettigrew@hotmail.com). I'd love to share a cup of coffee with you, and possibly a nice dinner, so that we could get to know one another.
