On Love, Age and Marriage

I watched last night's Maalaala Mo Kaya's Kabibe episode. It's a love story of two souls reunited after 45 years of living separate lives.  It tells us how love remains in our hearts even if we parted ways and chose to be with someone else. That there is always a chance given to people who truly love.  It also answers the questions, "Am I too old to fall in love, get married and be happy?" and "Can love truly wait?"

I'm brave enough to admit that I almost cried watching MMK last night.  I can not imagine myself waiting for forever for someone I love and wonder if I will be able to experience the same happy-ever-after ending or, with a touch of reality, suffer regrets the same way some of us had experienced.
