Picture from huffintonpost.com
I saw a video in my class yesterday, and it just made my day. A 100-year-old bride, Dana Jackson, got married on her birthday on February 6, 2012. I found it really sweet. Ofcourse, when we think of a 100-year-old getting married, we have mixed feelings. Why at 100? Isn't that too old?
But the lesson we can take from this bride is that it is never too late for love. And not just for love, but for anything in life. She got married to an 87-year-old man (and yes, both of them were in a wheelchair). You can watch her video and read the full story in this website: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/13/100-year-old-bride_n_1274260.html#s692149
My point is, we have various stereotypes of old people; we associate them with wrinkles, sickness, crankiness, and slowness. But just because people are old does not mean they are worthless. Dana is a sweet woman, and happily married. She has restarted her life as a married woman at 100. How many of us actually think of restarting a new life at 100? At 50? At 30? Or at this very moment?
"It is never too late to be what you might have been" -George Eliot
