Life is so strange. After nearly four decades of marriage, I never expected to be single again at 70. And I certainly didn’t expect to find true love at the age of 73 in the middle of a pandemic! And now this! pic.twitter.com/HszN0zj9pr

My mother-in-law was widowed after 66 years of marriage when she was 86. About 2 years later, she started dating a man from her painting class. They’ve been an item for over 6 years now. She’s 95.

Ah, it was sheer luck, I think. I did put my profile up on Match and got many strange responses, but I found one good one, my age, a college professor like me, and with a similar faith tradition. It can happen, but I think it’s rare!

Although this is rare, it is such a beautiful sight to see and proves how we should always have hope and especially put ourselves out there.
We wish Carol all the best in this new journey!
