I think it is great to know you were loved that much! There was a guy who I went to school with who had some outward physical blemishes that made most people not even want to look at him let alone fall in love with him. I was his friend and he had a very sweet personality.

Several years after we graduated I got a letter from him thanking me for being his friend and how hard it was for him day in and day out with people sneering and making fun of him. Then he invited me to his wedding! He was marrying a lady 9 years older than he was! He explained how she loved him for who he was not what he was!

They have been married over 20 years now and have children and are in as much love now as they ever were. It is an inspiration to see them together! Why do we feel the need to catagorize people because of their looks or age? If you encounter one true love in your life (no matter the age) then you are truly blessed in this life.

Many people marry today out of lust and physical attraction and then are divorced a year later or continue in a miserable relationship. What benefit it this to life???? Give me the true love relationship anyday!! WAY TO GO JANE! I'm sure your true love was waiting for you when you got to the bridge!!!!
