“I am 42 and I am in love….”

We are three sisters and one brother and I am the youngest one. we all are unmarried. I am 42 years old teacher. I was only 2 when my father passed away. My mother raised all three of us. It was difficult for her but she gave us a good life and education. We all are good at academics and are placed well in different jobs.
but when my brother turned 30, he was getting a marriage proposal but he denied. He decided not to marry because he wants to take care of our family. Following his footsteps, my sisters and I also decide to live our life like this. Although my mother wasn’t happy with this gradually she stopped talking about this. My mother passed away recently and I really miss her a lot. Both of my sisters are busy with their jobs, so I used to talk to my mother. She was my companion.
Everything was going as usual until a teacher joined my school 1 year back. He is very intelligent, soft-spoken and respects his fellow teachers. His wife expired 3 years back. He lives with his mother and a daughter. From the past few months, we are getting close to each other. I met with his daughter twice and we liked each other a lot. She talks to me over the phone.
Although we have not expressed our feelings to each other we both know that we love each other. I want someone in my life but I am a bit scared to tell this to my brother and sisters. There are busy in their world and we don’t spend much time with each other after my mother died.
I need to tell this to someone but I don’t know with whom. So I decided to write this instance so that you can give me advice if it is wise to take this step now when I am 42 years old? Waiting for your true response.
