Older Man Falls In Love After Wife’s Death, But His New Love Isn’t Who She Says She Is

Carl, an elderly man who had just recently lost his wife, began getting close to Lisa, a younger woman he had just met recently. But Lisa wasn’t who she seemed to be, and everyone in his life let him know that she might not have the best intentions for Carl.

But emotions are powerful; sometimes, they get in the way and change everyone’s plans…

Death Brought Them Together

When Carl’s wife died, he thought he’d never find love again. She had been his world, his everything. They had been together for most of his life, first as friends, then as a couple. She had been with him when he had nothing.

After his wife’s death, he was certain he’d never feel love like that again. All that changed the day he met Lisa.

His Wife’s Death Was Sudden

The circumstances of his wife’s death were rather mysterious. She had been diagnosed with a rare genetic condition without treatment. The doctors had estimated that she had a few months, maybe a year, left. She didn’t last that long. Just a week after the diagnosis, she gave up the ghost.

A Sight For Sore Eyes

Carl was so sure he would be unable to cope with the loss. He had loved his wife with all of his being. Losing her was like losing a part of himself, maybe even worse. Yet ironically, her death was what brought Lisa into his life.

Lisa was beautiful. A beautiful woman with a beautiful smile. That smile was what first caught his attention.

A Simple Gesture Sparks The Flames

She had come over to offer her condolences about his loss, and while, at the time, he was in too much pain to see it, she had been the most beautiful woman in the room.

The next time they met, though, he hadn’t failed to notice it. She had brought him a greeting card then, and he appreciated the thought.
