Thank you. We dated for 3 three years and married for 59 years. A lifetime. What makes it harder is that now I am 90 years old. Fortunately for me I am in good health. I do not have dementia, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, or any of the ills that come with being old. I live in our home, am independent and have the ability to drive, even on the freeway at night. In short, just like everyone else, except older. I am sure there must be many like me. The biggest troubles are that you have outlived everyone and there is nothing to look forward to. Sorry to diverge from the topic.

You don't need to apologize. At 90, you've earned the right to diverge from the topic if you want to, 😊
I am so in awe of you. You are doing remarkably well. And while I know that there are a lot of 90 year olds, I doubt that the majority of them are in as good health as you are. Most of them, I'm sure, probably have at least one medical issue, even a minor one, that they're dealing with. So, I applaud you for having taken excellent care of yourself over the years. You are right that one of the downsides of the longevity you have achieved is that as we get older, friends and family member began to pass on. And that can cause loneliness. But I pray that you can remain healthy, strong, and active and have some opportunities to meet and get together with people with similar interests so that you will not feel so lonely.
Blessings! 💕
