  Film legend Anthony Quinn was 70 when he met Kathy Benvin, who was just 23. ‎ She became his secretary and later his wife. She said she had an idea that 70 was the age when people "sit in a chair and more or less wait to die..." ‎ Then she met Quinn in his sweatpants after a jog, who told her, "My life is a mess. ‎ I'm painting something, I'm going to do a play and make a movie, and I'm writing a script, and I need someone to help me."

  ‎I met my wife when I was 17. We married when I was 22, ‎ and we were very happy until she died when I was 60. She was only 59. ‎ ‎I loved her utterly, and that initial, crazy, intense phase (it's called "limerence" I think) didn't leave. It was an extreme experience being married to her, and I loved every second of it, and everything about her. I swear she even sweated perfume, or that’s how it seemed to me. We had three happy children and we both had good careers, but were very focussed on each other. ‎ ‎Life without her is obviously sad and I miss her every day, but I had something not everyone has, and for that I am grateful. I'm still in love with her, ten years after she died.

  Sabrina González Pasterski, 28 years old, is a physics genius who has received job offers from NASA, Amazon, and Blue Origin. ‎ ‎At the age of 14, Pasterski rebuilt a small airplane engine for fun, and after enrolling at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, she graduated with top honors at 17. ‎ ‎During her doctorate at Harvard, she discovered an effect called the "spin memory effect," which can be used to determine the impact of gravitational waves. One of her studies was cited by Stephen Hawking. ‎ ‎Everyone calls her the "new Einstein," capable of changing the conception of the universe, just like the great physicist. ‎ ‎Her heroes are Leon Lederman and Freeman Dyson. ‎ ‎

  Andria. Last summer we went camping together. She is a model. ‎ ‎This is Andria, ‎ ‎Of course she looks mature than me. She told me i look like a high school girl and I look so much cute. I took that as a complement. She looks so different from now. May be that change might be influenced from her profession or something else. ‎ ‎I will share some photos of our last summer camping. I wear t-shirt and leggings though…

  They said, “Papa, you’ll be more comfortable there. You won’t be alone.” But comfort isn’t four walls. Comfort is family. And I lost mine the day they left me there. The first night, I couldn’t sleep. The room was filled with strangers, but silence was louder than everything. I kept waiting for a call, a message, anything. Nothing came. I used to have a big house once. Laughter filled the rooms. Festivals felt alive, neighbors came and went, my grandchildren played on my shoulders. Now, festivals are just another day. I sit quietly, watching others meet their families, while mine forgets me. One day, a volunteer asked: “Uncle, what do you want the most?” I smiled faintly and said: “A hug from my son.” But that hug never came. Now, I spend my evenings staring at the gate, pretending someone will walk in. Every footstep outside makes my heart race. But they always pass by. Not for me. Never for me. I am not angry at my children. I am not bitter. I just wonder… How can people forget...
