Conversation with my wonderful widowed, 80-year-old former landlady:
Me: I hope you didn’t feel too lonely this summer
She: actually, I have met somebody…
Me: really? How wonderful! How is he?
She: this man is perfect: he is widowed and doesn’t have any children
Me: well, that sounds promising! But are you sure that he is not after your money?
She: oh no, he is rich as well
And then, the rich widowed childless lover came into the room with a lightbulb to fix her place. He cracked a joke and she started giggling like a teenager.
This is lovely! Reminds me of an octogenarian patient I have who came in with her husband. I asked how long they were married and she said 15 years, the same number of years as my husband and I at the time. Her husband quickly added, “But if you add all our married years together it’s 94!” Turns out they were both widowed and met each other after her husband passed away. They were the cutest and you could just tell how much they loved each other.

I think we underestimate how much elderly people can teach us about love. And inspire us! 😊
