75 Years Old

[JinnyJoan]

do you think at the above age it is appropriate to be in love - no, not me - single lady etc - no not me at all.

[bluefortress]

Well love is just a type of connection..isn't it. People need connection

Yes! Age is not a barrier to love

[JinnyJoan]

right - this lady got her first love at 50 years old - then he blew her out - then she met the next at 60 years old and she was devastated.  then he blew her out too at 65 - - she lost her two breasts in the mean time - I would like people to leave me alone - but - it is - what it is.

It is better to feel love and loss than to feel nothing at all

[JinnyJoan]

perhaps Barry - if you know the full story - of course I can't tell all on it.  But I do believe wholeheartedly that men like to be what it is rather than the ladies.  Perhaps I am wrong tho.  -

Love is all. The rest is just non-acceptance. Age is no barrier. Time is illusion, you are always in the present.

Love is an illusion. Illusions fade with age.

Oh yes!  Appropriateness has nothing to do with it.  OH and I met when he was 74.  I thought he was a nice chap and fellow chorister.

When he was 75, however, things changed after a walk by a lake in central France - and  then we did a reverse elopement to England to tell our families!  Married a good few years later when he was 79.

I love him to bits, as does he me.  He's in hospital now and weare both deaperate to get him home.

We're both old enough to know that there are parts of our lives that belong to different people and times and we concentrate on US.  Been together 16 yrs. now, married since 2013.

We fell in love - we are still in love.

Thank you ellie-may

It's great to be in love at any age. Especially if you've previously thought you were "past it". 
Jourdain's is a lovely story. 
Best wishes to your friend, jinnyjoan.
