She is 76 and after losing the love of her life about 4 years ago and never thinking she would ever meet anyone again.
She did.
She met John.
I asked her today how it was going and she was so giddy, I wasn't sure who she was. She said her life had completely turned around. That she didn't recognise herself. They spend all their time together, playing cards and bowls and laughing and hanging out together. He drives her everywhere and opens the door for her and it seems that they have fallen in love. It made my heart pine.
I love my mum.
She has gone thru things that would reduce most of us, and at 76, she is in love. She is taking the risk, she is putting herself out there, she is like a young woman again.....giddy and laughing and happy.
And I am proud of her, and want to be like her at 76.
