    75 years!

    Made my eyes tear up.

    And they were born on the same day too.

    If an afterlife exists, you just know they're with each other.

    (also, this - “What one lacked, the other made up for,” Daniel said - I believe, makes for the best marriages)

    Sweet story.

    Yeah I read this yesterday, very nice story. Sad, but nice at the same time.
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    It happens more often that you would expect. Heartbreaking and amazing at the same time.
    And the sun it may be shining . . . but there's an ocean in my eyes
