What if I grow old, and ...?

Truth be told here on these here crazy interwebs, some of us successful (?) single folk worry about the future.  Grab a cold beer or a Coke Zero and let me indulge you further and tickle your noggin with things to ponder as I oft do …

Living a perpetual life as a Singleton is fine whilst young and vibrant.   Climbing the corporate ladder for our envious careers, fancy dinners out with friends, girls trips with spa treatments and wine tasting fill our lives in the meantime. But what happens as we grow older and frailer? 

Things that rack my brain and won’t leave me alone:

Instead of a gent running out in the middle of the night to throw a package or two of pads and tampons on the trust ole’ debit card, who’s going to get me Depends if I accidentally run out of them and forget to pick them up after a long night of bridge and iced tea?

What if I fall and can’t get up and the battery on that As Seen on TV remote control that calls 911 is dead?  Who’s going to help me get up and find my walker?

What if when I go completely gray and I dye my hair and it turns purple and then falls out?  Who’s going to call me a pretty lady then?

 Via

Who’s going to help me learn the remote control for the TV when technology advances faster than I am able to keep up with it?

What if I’m walking down the sidewalk and my false teeth fall out and I trip on them?

What if I never find love?   What if I never get to call someone mine?  What if I die alone? 

What then?

On being 100 and in love. It's true.

A producer friend of mine out in LA shot this sweet little video for the LA Jewish Home.

It's a PSA/non-profit piece finished just in time for Valentine's Day.
Just a little a sweet little something.

When he first told me the story behind it, I cringed.

I don't need (nor want) to know about what folks do behind closed doors.
Especially when it comes to all that hanky panky talk.

Who said you can't be 100-years old and not madly in love with a young and vivacious 90-something?

These folks may have found their loves in an assisted living home, but they're spark isn't any different from the young romantics just starting their lives together.

Enjoy this piece and feel free to share this with others, especially as Valentine's Day approaches.

Nothing better than watching two lovies continue to be madly in love with each other.

At the end of my life, I hope to have someone close to my side.

I hope he goes to get me more Bingo cards.

And helps me with my tray whilst at the cafeteria.

And, assists me with my O2 tank.

And fixes any squeaks on my walker. 

And button my cardigans when I miss a few button holes.

And wants to watch old re-runs of SATC with me.

And doesn't mind if I take a little longer to put on red lipstick with my feeble hands.

Because after all, doesn't everyone want to look their best in love?

I'm AmericanBridget and this is a sweet little PSA video.
