Hi everyone,

I have a situation that is of my own making. A little over 3 years ago I met the woman that I would fall in love with by mistake. I'm 69 years old and I admit that's pretty damn old. Over 3 years ago a pretty young girl of 27 wrote me several letters that I read but did not answer. She just would not give up and kept writing to me. So I finally wrote back to you and tried to tell her that I was much to old for her. She refused to acknowledge that and kept writing. Gradually I fell in love with her but she didn't return my love at first. Finally I wore her down and we started talking about a meeting. We have planned 3 meetings in the next year and a half. Each had to be cancelled. I offered to come to her but she insisted that she wanted to come to me. Last year I had a couple of heart attacks and was told not to travel long distances. About the same time she changed her plan and told me if I want to meet her that I had to come to her. I got very frustrated and did as any man would do and I got angry. Yes, I know that's stupid but I am a man. So I told her I was leaving and I hurt her and the way I told her I offended her as well. Here is the real issue, you see I love her more now than ever before. I realize that some of you may think that I'm an idiot for even staying with her for 3 years but like I said, I'm crazy in love with this amazing girl. The saddest part of it all is that I am so in love with her that I take my disappointment and frustration out on her. Yes, I realize that I don't deserve such an angel but I have tried to stop loving her and it just isn't happening. I love my beautiful redhead with all my heart and soul. In 3 years I have learned her mind to some degree and that is what I love. So I have learned that I'm not to old to fall in love. But I have also learned that once I fall in love I can't seem to free myself from that love. So just how weird am I?????
