This gives me hope. Thank you, CB!

Please send me the name of your rheumatologist if he’s available.

Beautiful story. “It made me smile”. :)

Funny how love comes when you’re not looking for it. Congratulations!

Even I feel hopeful… Congrats! Any chance you can find someone for me, ont his side of the Atlantic? Malmoe, Sweden to be exact? All the best.

Your piece goes into my “how to write” file … what a beautiful, inspiring story you conveyed in only 100 words!

Love can come at any age. When it does it’s wonderful! Loved your story!

I just recently met someone and have had the same thing happen, wow what a rush! We have hit it off, and laughed more than I ever had with someone. Time will tell, but I’m having a blast! Maybe in 9 years I’ll let you know how we are……….thanks for your message.

To: Jozzie Lee— She was looking for it thats why she found love.

Tahnk you ladies for being here. Love…dating…hmmm. After 25yrs of marriage and 3 beautiful kids, my husband has decided he does not want me anymore, he wants his secretary. I was a stay at home Mom with a husband who owns his own tour and travel bus business, now I’m alone and devistated, fearful of the future and my place in it. I want to get past the divorce and into a place of peace and happiness. Woman who have not gone through this humiliating experience just don’t understand the heartache. Any advice on how I can becone whole again would be greatly appreciated…I’m 52 yrs. old…Many thanks…Debra

A good part of the truth of this story is way it took you the 52 years of living to get to the point of knowing what you’d found. Lives well lived, you know. There are tiny tiny baskets woven from tiny feathers that are created by one of the Northern California native american groups. When I watched them weaving, I commented that none of the women were young who were doing this beautiful work. They laughed. It seemed they didn’t even bother to show anyone how to weave these baskets until they were at least 58 years old. Good stuff, Ms. B.

Thats beautiful, Im coming out of a rough 5 year relationship, i feel indifferent about dating and men at this point, I guess it’s nice to leave that little space of possibility in my mind.

Candice, Candice, Candice…always you have been a favourite with your smart wit and strikingly good looks despite you being hetero! LOL You remain a true inspiration of womanhood…..so happy that you were able to find such wonderful deep love in the latter part of life and even more thrilled to know you are here, contributing to this amazing forum of women. To Debra Oster….my heart, sincerely, goes with you, dear friend. Although I was the one who left my marriage after 20 yrs, the pain was still vast. It was not easy for me to hurt someone despite the abuse that was inflicted on me. Give yourself time to heal…first and foremost, take care of yourself. Ensure your heart relays to you, every single day, what an amazing, wonderful woman you are…that this break up will be a new opportunity for new direction…new path…new adventures ahead and that your age is not a deterrent…don’t allow it to be one. Give yourself time, patience and foremost, kindness and love of thyself. Good things, including love, will follow naturally once the healing of your own self has been finalized.
