I was fortunate to meet Ralph when I was 18, but it took me til I was almost 22 to realize what I was overlooking.

I can think of three examples off the top of my head that are later in life realtionships. First, i girl I work with is getting married for the first time this May...she is 35. Second, a good friend of mine has been divorced for 15 years. She swore up and down she would NEVER do it again. Last October she ran into a old college buddy, someone she hadn't seen in 20 years, who was more recently divorced. Within two months they were talking amrriage. Although no date has been set, he just moved into the house they purchased together this past weekend (she will move in when she sells her house and wedding plans are made.
Finally, a little over a year ago, my best freind's grandfather died. Her grandmother was at her wedding ( me freind's) a few weeks ago, with her new husband. They were like teenagers!!! After knowing them since I was in grade school, it was weird to see her with someone else, but great to see an older couple find such happiness.
