Widow Sheila Young wasn’t enthusiastic about the idea of online dating. But she took the courage and met a man
who changed her life.
Sheila, 73, had lost her husband to bowel cancer 18 months earlier. After more than 40 years of marriage, she
missed the companionship, conversation and comfort of having someone to share her life.
“A niece had tried online dating,” says Sheila. “It didn’t work for her, but one evening I had a couple of glasses of
red wine and thought, ‘go for it girl.’ I didn’t tell anyone in case it didn’t work out. I said in my profile simply, ‘I want
someone to make me laugh again.’ ”
Over a period of three weeks, her inbox was filled with inappropriate messages. Sheila despaired. Then she found
Roy Millard, 75. Or rather, he found her. Roy, whose wife Jenny died of ovarian cancer seven years ago, signed up to
the dating site without telling a soul.
Like Sheila, Roy was looking for a companion, someone to giggle with, to laugh at his jokes. Living 32 miles
apart, yet they were perfect for each other.
When Sheila’s photograph popped up, he stopped short. He was smitten.
Luckily, Sheila liked the look of him too. “It was his eyes, I think,” she says. “Such a twinkle in them.”
After three weeks of messaging and talking on the phone, the pair arranged to meet halfway at a garden centre in
October 2012. When Sheila pulled in, Roy was already waiting by his car. “We were both nervous,” admits Sheila.
“But once we sat down for a coffee, it just felt natural.” Roy adds: “Neither of us wanted the date to end, so we drove
to a pub for lunch.”
Soon they met each other’s families who got on well right away. They both have lots of great friends and family,
and now they are combined. With visits from friends and family and eating out regularly, the couple are rarely at
home.
“I can’t believe that my life has changed so much,” she says. “When I think of people in my situation being
lonely, I feel so lucky.”
Roy adds, “We plucked up the courage to do something, and it worked out. Look at the life we have now.”
