My sister married an elder 2 months younger than our late father. They had been friends for a few years before they started dating. Unfortunately he found out he had cancer right after he proposed. She married him anyway. She took care of him until he died 2 weeks shy of their 3rd anniversary. That will be a year ago Thursday.
I teased her that she moved accross the country to find her twin, except that he was older and black (she's almost an albino, we live in the South). They really were two peas in a pod.
She said she wasn't looking to get married, she just wanted to be with him. He was a wonderful man, we were proud he was in our family. We all miss him alot.
