Life is so strange. After nearly four decades of marriage, I never expected to be single again at 70. And I certainly didn’t expect to find true love at the age of 73 in the middle of a pandemic! And now this! pic.twitter.com/HszN0zj9pr

Sharing on Twitter, Carol H Mack said “life is so strange”.
“After nearly four decades of marriage, I never expected to be single again at 70. And I certainly didn’t expect to find true love at the age of 73 in the middle of a pandemic! And now this!” Mack wrote on her Twitter page on February 12.
She took Beyoncè up on the "if you like it then you should put a ring on it".
She didn't let society's expectations get to her and she did what made her truly happy.
One-million likes and counting show us how overwhelming the response she has received is. This micro-blogging platform has made her go viral and we are here for it.

My mother-in-law was widowed after 66 years of marriage when she was 86. About 2 years later, she started dating a man from her painting class. They’ve been an item for over 6 years now. She’s 95.

Some users have said, "Age is just a number," and "Love is beautiful at any age. It is important to enjoy life as long as we breathe, and marriage is a very beautiful tradition."
Carol gave us some more context explaining how she met her special someone through a dating profile.
See her response below:
Ah, it was sheer luck, I think. I did put my profile up on Match and got many strange responses, but I found one good one, my age, a college professor like me, and with a similar faith tradition. It can happen, but I think it’s rare!

Although this is rare, it is such a beautiful sight to see and proves how we should always have hope and especially put ourselves out there.
We wish Carol all the best in this new journey!
