Fast forward 25 years and we ran into each other at the mall one day. I was divorced and she was widowed, also losing her daughter. We had coffee that day and talked for 2 hours. Met the next week for coffee and then almost daily thereafter as our friendship renewed.
About 6-8 months later we had a real date and became exclusive. Today we live together and are deeply in love.
So yes, it can work out (we’ve been together about 14 years) but I think it’s more the exception than the rule.
That's beautiful PP, apart from the sad circumstances. Thanks for sharing this one.
