This is the moment to be open-minded and ready to accept the unexpected. You will laugh out loud as you read this story about a 70-year-old widow who chose to pursue an unusual path to finding love once more.<\/p>\n<p>This lively widow thought it was time to get married again, even though she was getting older, which is how our story started. She ran the following ad in the neighborhood newspaper:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWanting husband! Must be in my age range, must not run around on me, must not hit me, and must still be a nice bed partner. We ask that all applicants apply in person.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-16\">\n<div id=\"M888735ScriptRootC1471946_027e2\">\n<div id=\"AdskeeperComposite1471946_027e2\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>She was waiting in suspense, but the next day her doorbell was rang by an unexpected guest. She was shocked to see a gray-haired man sitting in a wheelchair when she answered the door. The fact that he was without arms or legs made him much more amazing.<\/p>\n<p>She responded honestly at first: \u201cYou\u2019re not really expecting me to think about you, are you? Take a look at you\u2014you\u2019re without legs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Undaunted, the elderly man grinned broadly and said, \u201cTherefore, I cannot run around on you!\u201d<\/p>\n<figure
