Your 93 Year Old grandfather has a GIRLFRIEND???
How cute is that??
Really, now how do you date at that age?? How did they meet? How long have they been an item??
Curious pauligan's want to know.
Okay Ms P... I will tell you and only you the story.. No one else can read this,, haha
Years ago my Dad was retired and use to manage apartments from 1973 unti maybe 10 years ago until the owners told him that he was too old and they asked him to leave. We got him into a senior apartment complex located on Eastland 3 blocks west of Gratiot and maybe 2 blocks north of 12 mile. When I was moving him in all of the ladies there looked at him like he was a meat market.. Honest.. It was so cute to see.. Well, he met his lady friend June there a few weeks later and they hit it off and fell in love.. My Dad is now 93 and his ladyfriend June is 76 I think.. I always tell him that he's robbing the cradle.
Ever since June and my Dad have been an item for the past 10 years they have come out to my house and have used my back acre for creating their own flower garden as well as me making them a 25 X 25 foot garden for their vegetables. They come out to our place usually 5 days a week , mess with their flowers, eat lunch like a picnic and enjoy the time away from their apartments. This goes on until it gets too cold for them to sit out.. They have a key for my house and if no one is home, they let out 2 dogs out to play with them..
Here's the kicker... My Dad still drives the car each day... He's sharp as a tack and has all his marbles.. A little hard of hearing in one ear.. Uses a cane and he says that he still thinks like he was 21 years old only his body doesn't agree with what he physically wants to do..
How do they date at that age??? It's really funny to see.. They sit in the sun, hold hands, put suntan lotion on each other and let their feet touch.. They take care of each other at their apartment sharing the cooking, cleaning and so on. One night they stay at his apartment and then another at hers and so on... Their probably the talk of the complex with all of the other old ladies watching..
Don't ever give up hope on love... It doesn't matter how old you are... It's always possible that there is someone waiting for you at any age..I hope that you enjoy the story.... :>)
