<\/p>\n\u2018I was married to my first husband, Donald, for 43 years, and when he died of complications from diabetes in 2013, <\/p>\n
after spending seven months in the hospital, I was alone,\u2019 says Almeda. \u2018I went to work at Walmart with tears in my eyes.<\/p>\n
\u2018I was subconsciously looking for a soulmate.\u2019 The woman was also forced to endure the death of her son Robert. \u2018He had constant health problems after the accident in his youth.<\/p>\n
But when his wife, Lisa, called to say that he had passed away, I was deeply moved. It was very difficult for me,\u2019 Almeda recalls.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Gary, whose obsession with older women began with a crush on a teacher at the age of eight, says he too had a hard time breaking up with his 77-year-old ex-lover. \u2018We fought constantly.<\/p>\n
I fell into depression and was looking for a way out,\u2019 says the boy. It was then that Lisa, his aunt, invited him to her husband Robert’s funeral.<\/p>\n
Almeda says: \u2018During the memorial service, I noticed this young man with a charming smile and thought: <\/p>\n
He was standing at the other end of the church, but I kept looking at him. It was a ray of light through the darkness of grief.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Then, when I was leaving the door at the end, he approached and offered his condolences. We didn’t have much time, but it was enough.\u2019<\/p>\n
Over the next few months, she thought about Gary constantly.<\/p>\n
One day he went to her aunt Lisa to confess his feelings for Almeda. \u2018It was instant for me too. She had the most beautiful, sparkling blue eyes.<\/p>\n
