raze she bought a catering business after her husband died and spun it into a success beyond anyone's expectations. a man twenty years her junior fell in love with her. he asked her to marry him. he said he would take care of her. she said she didn't need taking care of. "why would i want to marry another man?" she asked. "so i can cook and clean for him? i like my life. i like being able to do what i want." she has two daughters and a son. all of them grown and on their own. the man who wanted to make her his wife called all three of them. he told them he had money. he asked them to put in a good word for him. they all said the same thing: once their mother makes up her mind about something, there's no changing it. she's kept her husband's old clothes. sometimes she'll pull out one of his shirts and cradle the fabric like a child to find the smell of him still on it. 240520
