DEAR ABBY: My spouse passed away from pancreatic cancer more than two years ago. We were together for 13 years and stood by each other during good and bad times. I was recently contacted by my first love from 44 years ago.
We’ve been emailing, and I’ve been feeling emotions about him like when we were younger. My heart beats faster when he writes, yet I feel guilty because I was prepared never to care for anyone again. Is it possible to find someone to love me in my early 60s? Part of me feels scared to make a fool of myself, so it’s confusing. — FUTURE LOVE IN FLORIDA
DEAR FUTURE LOVE: Yes, it is indeed possible. The emotions you’re feeling are proof that you’re alive. Folks in their 60s and beyond have been known to find love again. You may be one of the lucky ones. The important thing is to let this relationship play out in its own time and not try to rush it.
