It's been a long time since I read it, but I'd definitely agree that this was true at the end of her life. He said when he >!died that he'd see her again in her 80's, but he also told her, "Don't wait for me." And yet, she did. She stayed in the same house, never remarried, and I got the impression she'd lived for this meeting. You could argue that it was her choice, but my heart broke for her. I wanted more for her than to mourn the rest of her life!<.
