Thank you Conniekat8. You made me think of my great Aunt Laura. She was always my favorite aunt. I remember she always had either hot chocolate and cookies, or lemonade and cookies for us kids when we went to see her. I loved hearing her stories about her brother(my grandfather) when he was a kid.
She passed away several years ago at the ripe old age of 101. Her mind was still sharp as a tack.
At her final farewell, my hubby asked me who that strange man was sitting with the family. He thought he knew all of my family. But that wasn't a stranger, he was Aunt Laura's boyfriend. He was a younger man of 96.
I always thought this was a good example of how you're never too old for love.
