We met online. We “talked” by email after a few messages on the dating site for four months. I traveled over 1000 miles to visit, and the day we met in person was the first time we heard each other’s voices. I was divorced from a marriage I started at 51. He was widowed from a relationship that started when he was 16. He’s 5 years younger than me.
I stayed at an Airbnb and we spent the day I turned 57 in Sept and four other days that week together . Then I drove back home. Two weeks later, he flew me back, and we spent a week seeing more of western Montana, and I stayed in a different Airbnb. We met in the “middle” the end of December. We both cried on our way to our homes. A few more times meeting in the middle and once he came to me. Then, I moved to him in June. The following June we had our wedding. This past weekend we celebrated our fifth anniversary in Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada.
I truly believe I am the luckiest woman in the history of the universe.
Three days after we took the snowmobiling photo in February, I called an ambulance. The first responders didn’t think the machine showed he was having a heart attack. The emergency room doctor was confused said, it looks like something with his heart but not a stemi (100 percent blockage). A petite woman walked in, looked at him, patted his arm and said to the nurse, “don’t give him anything else. The pain won’t stop until we open up that artery.” She leaned over him and said “this is a terrible thing to happen on Valentine’s Day.” I began crying. She said she would send her team to get him. Without any pain deadening, she went thru the artery in his right wrist, found the blockage and said, “give me ten seconds.” He said the pain was the worst he ever felt. He walked out of the hospital the next day. She knew from one look what no one else did. And she solved the problem so fast, he had no heart muscle damage.
The dull part is the lack of conflict. The lack of raised voices. The trust. The love.
Size 9-9.5. We’ve been eating more bananas and a lot of other healthier choices since the heart attack.
Edit: I want to thank everyone for all the wonderful things you said. I’m feeling the love and acceptance from the entire world.
I got lots of compliments on the dress. I went shopping soon after we decided on a date. We were at our cabin timeshare near West glacier, and I went shopping in Kalispell. I went alone and was looking for an empire waist. I pulled the sample for this dress out because it was in a size I could get into. My response when I saw myself in the mirror was “oh, my”. When the dress came in, I mentioned I wanted sleeves. The women in the store said they would find out if they could order the mesh and lace. I looked over my shoulder and said “I don’t want a train, cut it off and make the sleeves”. The alterations were done by the alternative seamstress for the shop. She added the sleeves and put on some of the lace she cut out. The mesh went to my wrist, but I decided it looked like loose skin so I trimmed it off to 3/4 length and added more of the lace. Oh and the shoes were ordered on clearance from Coach website.
