When the festivities ended， Thelma quickly rose from her seat and rushed over to the man. "Pardon me，" Thelma said. "Please forgive me if I made you feel uncomfortable by staring at you all night. I just couldn’t help myself from looking your way. You see， you look just like my fifth husband."
"Your fifth husband！" replied the gentleman. "Forgive me for asking， but how many times have you been married？"
With that， a smile came across Thelma"s face as she responded， "Four."
They were married shortly after.
即使在75的時候，西爾瑪仍然過著快樂充實的生活。丈夫去世以後，她的孩子建議她搬到“老年人生活小區”去住。喜歡交友熱愛生活的西爾瑪就決定搬到那裏去住。
搬過去不久，西爾瑪就成為了活動的領導者，她參與為社區人們做的一切活動，並很快被大家所喜歡，交了很多朋友。
當西爾瑪80歲的時候，她的一些新朋友為她舉辦了一個生日晚會來表達對她的喜愛。那晚，當她來到晚宴大廳的時候，大家都站起來歡呼著向她致意，其中有一個人把她帶到首席。那晚充滿了笑聲和歡樂，但是整個晚會上，西爾瑪的眼神都沒有離開一個坐在另一頭的紳士身上。
當慶祝結束的時候，西爾瑪迅速地離開座位衝到那個男士麵前：“對不起，請原諒剛才我一直那樣盯著你讓你感到不安。我隻是控製不住自己去看你。你看，你長的就像我第五個丈夫一樣。”
“你第五個丈夫！”這個男士驚訝地說，“請原諒我不禮貌的問題，但是你結了幾次婚啊？”
這時，西爾瑪臉上露出笑容，回答到：“四次”。
不久，他們就結婚了。
Love growing up in heart
愛在心裏成長
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person， we will know how to be grateful for that gift.
When the door of happiness closes， another opens， but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don"t see the one which has been opened for us.
The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with， never say a word， and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you"ve ever had.
It"s true that we don"t know what we"ve got until we lose it， but it"s also true that we don"t know what we"ve been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they"ll love you back！ Don"t expect love in return； just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn"t， be content it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone， an hour to like someone， and a day to love someone， but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don"t go for looks； they can deceive. Don"t go for wealth； even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.
