    I am having trouble finding the right words to describe this short film except to say that it touches on an emotional level, it is beautiful, it is clever, and I love it.

    When my fiancé died in March 1996 I never even wanted to meet someone else. This film summed up all the feelings I had at the time and the years since, and I had been realising what a waste of my life that was. I miss Pat a lot, think of her every day, but if only I could have moved on, I wouldn't be 73 and alone. This was a truly optimistic, human and lovely film.
    I LOVED IT, and the actors were great characters, the man who sang was there, almost as if waiting his whole life, to sing that song.
    Thank you so much.

      My mom passed away 11 years ago. We've encouraged dad to meet someone but until now he fondly talks about her as if she'd just stepped out to run errands. We celebrate her birthdays and their anniversaries. My dad is 72. When my mother's mother became a widow at 27, she chose to never remarry because having the memory of him was enough and she wanted no one else. She passed away at 93. If I fall in love, I like to think I will be this way too.

I live with my dog today, working from home in a small town far from the city.I admit it would be absolutely awesome to see myself with my kid someday too, if not, then maybe I'll just try to live my life the best that i could.

    I wasted my entire life. At 63, I'm starting over. I'm alone in this world, really alone. I've lived in Hollywood California my entire life. 'Hollywood', ate me up and left me on the side of the road to die. Both my parents passed this year and there is nothing keeping me here. My dream is to move to Ireland and live whatever time I have left there by the sea. The sea is where I go to find myself, my balance. The sea is where I go to forget. I talk to God there.

    Really sweet, but as both a crossword setter and a proofreader, I'll say (a) for the puzzle at 2:33 the prop-maker should have copied a real newspaper crossword more closely, because the grid layout is terrible!, and (b) at 2:52 that should be 'bear' not 'bare'. Sorry about that. Lovely story though 🙂
