67 years married
there's a letter that an 87-year-old widow wrote in to a magazine saying that while her husband was dying, at 90, he told her he didn't love her and he never had.I want to cry - or shake her (gently - she is 87, after all) and say NO, damnit, remember the good times and forget that thing he said, he was old, he was senile, he didn't mean it, he can't have meant it.
Right?
(Adding this comment - what gets me is not that he said it, whether he meant it or not he's dead now. What gets me is that she believes it, and is hurting.)

Strange story!
I do wonder why one has to live for so many years with someone he or she don't love, I think he didn't meant what he said and she should not bother what she heard, 67 yrs on companionship can't be forced
If it was me I would have put pillow over the old barstewards head and whispered " I HAVE BEEN MEANING TO DO THIS FOR YEARS"
No particular reason.
I think it's time for a video - saw this lass live in JHB in 1996, good set of pipes on her
