Contact Widget disappears a minute after creation

Alright then.
Methinks I have stumbled upon a solution for my issue.
The solution ?
The contacts that I choose to use with the Android "Contact", "Direct Dial" and Direct Message" widgets, need to be on the Android device itself rather than in the cloud somewhere.
By default, every contact I create when using my phone, defaults to the location of my Google account.
So, all I needed to do was ....
Create a new contact and choose "Device" as the location for it.
Then, reference this device based contact via the "Contact", "Direct Dial" or "Direct Message" widgets.
That's it.
I've tested the above using several device based contacts and none of them have disappeared for almost 6 hours now.
I hope my experience might be of some little help to others.
