Before retirement, Bea Lewis was a staff writer for Newsday and New York Newsday. When she and her husband moved to Florida, she penned a Q&A column for The Palm Beach Post on parent/adult child relationships, and then shared that information in “My Kids Are All Grown Up, So Why Are They Still Driving Me Crazy? How to Get Along With Your Adult Children, Their Spouses and Other Aliens.’’ (Amazon 2011.) When her husband passed away, she shared her experiences in “A Woman’s Journey: How I Went from Loss, to Learning, to Moving On.’’ (Amazon 2016.) Bea has three daughters, five granddaughters, one grandson, and two great-granddaughters.
In my 80s, I have a new live-in boyfriend.
We will cuddle, laugh and savor each day for the rest of our lives.
I'm in my late 80s and there is much life and love to document.
This will help ward off family disputes and resentment.
The painful feelings that have stayed with me forever.
I find myself fighting for my independence.
I discovered in my 80s that sexual pleasure has no age limit.
It’s sexy, fulfilling, fun and, yes, sometimes confusing.
To say I was shocked would be putting it mildly.
