I'm a 52 year old mom of three grown daughters and three dogs. It took 48 years, one divorce, a lot of tears and self doubt and finally relinquishing control and telling the deities I trusted them before I met the other half of my soul. He was just as broken and damaged as I and we saw each other and our souls both recognized each other immediately. Been together six years now and each day is a new adventure even when we squabble.
