Was there someone you once knew, who you wanted to stay with forever?

Being of a certain age, having devoted oneself entirely to someone, if that someone is no longer in the picture, do you stop caring for others? In your desire to meet the emotional and social needs of others, who give reciprocal support, what if you get the chance to revisit old relationships; a chance to find out the ‘what if…’ of your past? Is it too late? Could you find compatibility, having lived diverse lives? Could joy be a two-way street? Could joy be found, when you felt it was lost?

In Life and Living It by William D Mecham, we experience the possibilities which arise when mature friends meet, lend support in their loss by sharing themselves, and sometimes rekindling forgotten dreams.
