So what I did was go to the Hot Young Widows Club and say, hello, friends, remember when your person died?

They did.

Do you remember all the things people said to you?

Oh, yeah.

Which ones did you hate the most?

There were a lot of comments, a lot of answers.

People say a lot of things, but two rose to the top pretty quickly.

Moving on.

Now, since 2014, I will tell you I have remarried a very handsome man named Matthew.

We have four children in our blended family.

We live in the suburbs of Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.

We have a rescue dog.

I drive a minivan, like, the kind where doors open and I don't even touch them.

Like, by any measure, life is good.

I've also never said measure.

I've never once said it that way.

I don't know where that came from.

I've never heard anyone else say it that way, but it looks like it should be said that way, and that's why the English language is trash.

So I'm so impressed with anyone who speaks it in addition to a language that makes sense, so good job.

But by any measure, by any measure, life is really, really good, but I haven't moved on.
