Mark, Tina & me?!?...
As I've said in other posts, Tina was one of my best friends—someone from whom deepest secrets were never hidden. In the scheme of things, Mark & Tina had an amazing relationship—they were as attracted to each other in her last year of life as they were when they met 38 years ago. They had sex every night. Who else do you know who does?!? Boy I envied them that!
Now, not quite four weeks after Tina's death, I am talking to Mark on the phone—he is telling me about their (sexual) relationship, how much he misses her. I'm trying to console him & tell him everything will be okay, that it's perfectly normal to feel what he's feeling & that, someday, he might be ready to love someone else.
Out of left field it comes—"I'll never marry anyone else, but will you be my girlfriend?" he asks. I am completely, totally, utterly freaked out...

Uptowngrrl,
I've read your entire blog, you have great computer skills and a "Hell of a writer".
Naturally, Mark would love you already for being close to both him and Tina. I think what freaks us out is that men truely think differently than we do about sex.
He probably thinks of you and Tina together and when you think of him it is not without Tina in the picture and that is what Freaks you out.
Where is Tommy????? Lovely story, I hope it continues that way, keep us updated.
Maybe Mark would enjoy looking at some of the Senior Bachelorette's writings. How old is he???
If Richard's site were to become inactive, would that keep us from reading yours???
