It's a reality that people, one way or another, as subtle the desires and plans are, wants a partner in life. Someone you could spend your experiences with for the remainder of your life. Someone you could talk to (timelessly), give and receive a hug and an embrace with, one that accompanies you through life's ups and downs. That would indeed mark a wonderful and essential part of your life. Humans as we are, have emotional needs. And that particular need doesn't stop in the middle ages, it still lingers on. As any other needs that we have, emotional, '
heart-needs' are as important as physiologic and physical needs themselves.

And so, going back, my mom then plans to, if 'he' will eventually come. As it is a granted blessing, then bring it on! Age here is undeniably NOT a factor! It does not matter and absolutely not a hindrance! Hey, who said all the young singles would live life to the fullest when you can meet seniors free in this lifetime? :)
