We had 23 years together. Her last sentence on her deathbed in hospital, "You're the best think that ever happened to me." After that, I don't need anything more. I would like "more," but the market for 80 year olds isn't too hot these days.

as I've pointed out to the people in my hiking club, "80, is the new 85." and "I'm too old to die."

But I'm glad you found someone.
