W brought over the cakes of her friend to treat every one of us, and, originally, none of us took a piece, because we were afraid of the weight gains, but W told everybody, that this was, a special kind of cakes, that her sixty-year-old best friend had, finally found her Mr. Right. After hearing W, everybody started wanting a piece, and laughed and inquired W, “Did you also wish her to have a baby soon too?”, W laughed aloud, “I wouldn’t dare, I wish her to have a grandchild instead.” Turns out, that the man has two children, they’re adults now, and are both really happy, that their father had found someone. The two of them both received retirement money, so, the economy wouldn’t be a problem, they just need to, enjoy living their elderly lives together.

After hearing W’s friend’s story, T talked of how his manager retired, and started becoming a home-squatter, showing signs of depression, his wife who’s still working is very worried. T made nearly a hundred calls to him, he’d not taken one, and recently, he’d finally gotten through to his friend, invited him to go out hiking with his old friends, to converse, to go sing karaoke together, and finally, this retired manager started smiling again.
I’d once seen an elderly man pushing an elderly woman with hardship to see the doctors, and, although he looked a bit too tired, but at least, he has someone to share his life with. The elderly age had approached us, we need to, open up our hearts, to find a “companion at old age”, whether it be a life partner, a travel buddy, playmate, or, soulmate, looking out for each other, and not stressing the younger generations out, after all, the children all had work, and their own lives to manage too, they can’t burn on both ends too hard!
just hanging out with friends here, not my photo still…
I hope, all of you, elderly friends, find a partner in life, to spend the rest of your lives happily.
This shows the importance of socialization in the elderly years, how you need to get yourselves out there as you get older, because, if you don’t, you’ll lose that connection to the outside world, and if you failed to keep up with the contacts you have, then, you’ll surely feel lonely at old age.
