0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom Podcast, Episode 238, Widows Unfiltered, an interview with Darlene, Barnett, Carter.
0:10.3	Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, the only podcast that offers a proven process to help you work through your grief to grow, evolve, and create a future you can truly look forward to.
0:24.2	Here's your host, Master Certified Life Coach, Grief Expert, Widow, and Mom, Krista St. Germain.
0:32.7	Hey there, welcome to another episode of the podcast. Last time we spoke, or I guess I spoke to you,
0:40.1	which is how podcasting works. I mentioned that Todd's oldest was getting married, and that is done.
0:49.5	It happened yesterday. It went well. You know, December wedding in a barn in Kansas is maybe not the warmest,
0:57.4	but it was still very cute and quaint, and they were so happy. Outdoor pictures again in
1:05.0	December on a windy Kansas day. I can't wait to see them, but there's going to be a lot of
1:09.8	hair blowing and a lot of

1:43.8	And some sort of strawberry concoction and a white

1:50.8	though, just great to see the smiles, great to see the love. And who, weddings, just the buildup,
1:56.8	right? Also unfortunate that Todd's parents who came into town to be here for the wedding, got
2:02.5	COVID, and his mom got over it in time to come to the wedding. His dad got it very close to the
2:09.3	wedding. He didn't get to come, but at least they are, you know, doing okay with it. Never exactly
2:14.9	what you want to see, but it's the way it goes, isn't it? Unpredictable sometimes
2:18.8	and COVID is just the gift that keeps on giving. Hmm, yeah. Can you tell I just recovered from a
