DEAR DEIDRE: In the Eighties I was a lonely young woman who despaired of ever meeting “the one”.
Then I picked up my dad’s copy of The Sun and saw your advice about how to get a pen friend.
Before the internet, that was a way to meet new people in different parts of the country or even around the world.
We couldn’t just send an email at the drop of a hat back in those days, or join an online dating site to meet people.
So, I decided to pick up paper and pen and started writing to a man who was serving in the Army, telling him about my days and getting to know him through our many letters.
At first we didn’t really get on, but we met after a few months and eventually fell in love.
Fast-forward to today and I wanted to say thank you.
I’m 58 and he’s 59. Thanks to your advice, we have been together for more than 30 years and have two children and a grandchild.
We have been so happy together – and all because I read your wise words.

It truly is amazing to think that you read The Sun that day, and then wrote to a pen friend who became your husband.
