Dear Annie: I’m 75. When I was 19, I worked with a lady. We were friends, nothing more. She left and got married. I did, too. We both went in different directions. Her hubby was killed in an accident after her three children were born, and she hastily got married again but it didn’t work out. We had a casual thing till she met another man she was with for 13 years. Then he died of cancer. As for me, my marriage lasted 36 years, but my wife and I drifted apart. I remarried again, a marriage that lasted for seven years. Then we both were single, her for 12 years and me for another seven.
