Senior Love
There were these two elderly people living in a Florida mobile
home park. He was a widower and she a widow. They had
known one another for a number of years.
One evening there was a community supper in the big
activity center. These two were at the same table, across
from one another. As the meal went on, he made a few
admiring glances at her and finally gathered up his courage
to ask her, "Will you marry me?" After about six seconds of
careful consideration, she answered. "Yes, Yes, I will."
The meal ended and with a few more pleasant exchanges,
they went to their respective places. Next morning, he was
troubled. "Did she say 'yes' or did she say 'no'?" He couldn't
remember. Try as he would, he just could not recall. Not
even a faint memory. With trepidation, he went to the
telephone and called her.
First, he explained to her that he didn't remember as well as
he used to. Then he reviewed the lovely evening past. As he
gained a little more courage, he then inquired of her......
"When I asked if you would marry me, did you say 'Yes' or
did you say 'No'?" He was delighted to hear her say, "Why, I
said, 'Yes, yes I will' and I meant it with all my heart."
Then she continued, "And I am so glad that you called,
because I couldn't remember who had asked me."
