[Bahbah]

Lovely story.

[Larry Lucido]

He was 20, she was 16

Must have been one smooth talker to get her dad's okay for all that.

[rdb3]

Tragically sad, yet fittingly sweet at the same time.

[infidel29]

[anniegetyourgun]

What a love story....on so many levels.

[wardaddy]

God bless em.

My mom and grandma have had long lives as widows after the hombres passed on.

[goldstategop]

Its touching. Like the Bible says, "for love is as strong as death." To put the sense better, both will always be a fact of the human condition and if we are we are to find comfort in the face of death, love will survive even the grave. We will find the love of God and one day we will find those we love again and it could not be less since God made us not to be alone. He made men and women to find each other and to find happiness and the company of love together.

(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)

A good friend and I sang hymns to her mother who was in the last stages of Alzheimers. She passed awsay that night. I know she heard us. It was a blessing to be there.

[WorkingClassFilth]

Nice story - lucky family.

[Salvation]

Marriage bump!

Fidelity bump!

True love bump!

Working through the problems together bump!

Communications bump!

And the rest can be your imagination.

God bless this couple!

[SuziQ]

God Bless them both now that they're Home together again.

Isn't it Romantic?
(Rodgers and Hart)

ISN'T IT ROMANTIC?

I've never met you, yet never doubt, dear;
I can't forget you, I've thought you out, dear.
I know your profile and I know the way you kiss,
just the things I miss on a night like this.
If dreams are made of imagination
I'm not afraid of my own creation.
With all my heart, my heart is here for you to take.
Why should I quake? I'm not awake.

Isn't it romantic?
Music in the night, a dream that can be heard.
Isn't it romantic?
Moving shadows write the oldest magic word.
I hear the breezes playing in the trees above
while all the world is saying you were meant for love.
Isn't it romantic
merely to be young on such a night as this?
Isn't it romantic?
Every note that's sung is like a lover's kiss.


Sweet symbols in the moonlight,
do you mean that I will fall in love per chance?
Isn't it romance?

My face is glowing, I'm energetic.
The art of sewing I found poetic.
My needle punctuates the rhythm of romance.
I don't give a stitch if I don't get rich.
A custom tailor who has no custom
is like a sailor, no one will trust 'em.
But there is magic in the music of my shears.
I shed no tears, lend me your ears.

Isn't it romantic?
Soon I will have found some girl that I adore.
Isn't it romantic?
While I sit around my love can scrub the floor.
She'll kiss me every hour or she'll get the sack
and when I take a shower she can scrub my back.
Isn't it romantic?
On a moonlight night she'll cook me onion soup.
Kiddies are romantic
and if we don't fight we soon will have a troupe.
We'll help the population,
it's a duty that we owe to dear old France.
Isn't it romance?

[Vicki]

We had a close family friend die Friday and his ex-wife died the same day. So their children lost both parents at the same time. It is strange.

[Lancey Howard]

I knew a couple who went the same way. After about 50 years of marriage they died of heart attacks within an hour of each other.
