Could anything be more romantic than meeting the second love of your life when it seemed everything was over?

Could anything be more romantic than meeting the second love of your life when it seemed everything was over?
I had been so happily married for 28 years. My husband was mis-diagnosed for the last five, and when finally correctly diagnosed succumbed to cancer very quickly. I learned a lot about grief then. If I had felt sure that I would be with Don, I would have gladly died myself.
I was still feeling that way about a year and a half after his death, when a friend was having a book launch. I was desperately unhappy at the thought of attending alone, and my friend arranged for me to attend with an older, single man. With whom, over the past 10 months, I have fallen completely in love. And vice versa.
Finding another man I could love this way was like finding a needle in a haystack.
Sometimes the cosmic switchboard gets it right.
I promise you there are no two people for whom a romantic time at the spa would be so right.
