She moved on quick. I know I'll get red arrows, but I never understand when people claim to have been head over heels in love then find someone else so quickly, especially when the person dies. Can no one stand being on their own for longer than 5mins nowadays?......Strange. Anyhoo, that being said, I hope she's happy though.

Curry that is silly- why is a year some magic number for a deceased person to be in the ground before she's allowed to date with your blessing? She is still above ground and like anyone else- who knows for how long- all each of us has is the moment called now- I'd be willing to bet Cory would want her to live in the now. I think its great she found someone to date, it doesn't mean she still doesn't grieve for Cory.
