Finding real love is rare enough. Sustaining it the way these two seem to have done, not letting anything interfere with it, is even rarer.
This, folks, is a love story.
It could have been the inspiration for The Notebook . . .

OMG I don’t even know these people and I’m tearing up. I adore my husband as well and can’t imagine being without him. We also hold hands when we are walking together....

Very touching. Happy anniversary to my parents who just celebrated 57 years last month. Too few of these people left.

I only hope I could find somebody like that.

I'm glad they went together...a broken heart isn't any fun.

My grandparents were married for 71 years and died 6 days apart at 93 & 87... It’s sort of a symbiotic thing...

My folks were married in 1939. To the extent they still can, they’re celebrating 70 years of marriage.
I’m not even sure I’ll be able to stand myself when I’m 70.

Wonder what goes through Tiger’s mind when he reads a story like this? Never mind. Hot, loose blondes.

My neighbor lost her husband after 60+ years together. Being 80+ years-old and having to cope with such a loss is unimaginable. I often find her talking to his photos and listening to the music they both loved.
It is as if he is still watching over her - he tells funny stories to make her smile....I believe her.

No...not that. Just an undying love for each other.
To: BluesDuke
when my mom died about 3 yrs ago, my dad insisted that we write the obit saying they were married for 60 yrs, even though she did not quite make that.....
and he died about 6 months later....I'm sure he was broken hearted the entire time she was gone....
I'll always miss them......

"After 59 years of marriage, James and Lolie Brackin died Saturday morning only moments apart." Exactly how I'd like it to go for us when the time comes, me first of course.

59 *YEARS*?
At this stage in my life, if I get to be with one woman for three weeks, that’s huge.

I often find her talking to his photos and listening to the music they both loved. I took care of my f-i-l after his wife of 40+ years died. As I was dusting one day, I noticed a lot of smears on her picture. I got the windex to clean the glass, then realized that the smears were kiss marks on the glass. He was kissing her picture. I put the windex away. He lived only 18 months after she died.
