Everything worked.

Dear Jen,

My user name on your site was "puzzledone1" and his was "keyman". Here's our true life story:

On the evening of September 6, 2002 (Erev Rosh Hashana) "keyman" wrote to me and we started corresponding. We had both been looking for someone to share our life with for a long time. He had been divorced for 24 years and had ended a 12-year relationship 5 years before. I had been a widow for 11 years. He was almost 70 years old and I was 65. We were both terribly lonely. Anyway we started corresponding and it didn't take long before we both realized that this was something special. "Keyman" lived in Orlando, Florida and I lived in Rochester, NY but somehow distance was not an insurmountable conisderation. Anyway, the end of Sept. "keyman" flew to Rochester for the weekend and as soon as he came into the airport terminal we both knew that this was it. Everything worked. Our interests were so compatible it was uncanny and we even thought alike. One of us would think about something and the other would say it. It was very unreal how much alike we were and still are. Anyway in October, my brother passed away in Rochester and "keyman", being the kind and considerate person that he is, immediately flew there to be with me which to me said it all about the type of person he is. Anyway, I then flew to Orlando on Nov. 26th for Thanksgiving and we got engaged as soon as I got there and we were married February 16, 2003 at a very small but beautiful wedding in a shule under a chupah and I feel that this is a fairy tale that I never want to end.
