Aahh ...know the feeling! I first got married in my early 20s - quite common back then in the mid/late Sixties - and was widowed when just three years older than you are now. In the intervening period, like you, I'd been 'round the block a bit' too, but finally decided to settle down again last December. Now, thanks in part to the helpful, down-to-earth advice I was privy to on this forum, my Filipina angel [from Davao del Norte province] is here with me in the Fair City of Perth.
A very warm welcome to you!
