Marta was a mature woman in her early sixties, full of life and with a special love for older people. Since she was a child, she enjoyed listening to the stories of her grandparents and elderly neighbors. Over time, this passion only grew. Now, Marta organized monthly dinners for the elderly community in Montes Claros….
Isabelle stood before the mirror, tracing the faint lines around her eyes with her fingertips. At 60, she had lived, loved, lost, and learned.

Helena adjusted her pearl earrings and applied her red lipstick with precision. It had been years since she had dressed up like this, with a mix of excitement and anticipation pulsing under her skin. She looked in the mirror and saw a 62-year-old woman, confident, with well-kept silver hair and eyes that still sparkled. Outside,…
Laura watched the rain fall through her apartment window. Outside, the world moved at its own pace, but inside her, something pulsed differently.

The journal held poetry she’d written…
Elena’s hands sank into the soil, dark and cool against her palms. The old garden had been neglected for years, much like her own sense of joy. At sixty-two, widowed and with her children scattered across the country, she often found herself drifting through days like a ghost. But when she stumbled upon her late…
