I had neighbors for many years...they were married over 70 years at the time...ending up dying with in weeks of each other probably from heartache !

Not to much of this anymore!

It's funny how that works.

I also knew an old coupe who met as babies, married as teens, lived happily married for 70+ years, and then died naturally within weeks of each other.

Held my Grandmother in my arms when she died
Her husband a short stocky bloke who worked in the bush all his life, leaned over and kissed her whispered her name and a month later he also passed away.
Hard man, 1 heart attack and a plastic hip and still working in the bush.

I know exactly what you mean, in 2006 I met up with my first love from 1975 at a local beach, we'll be married 7 years this year. Life goes from black and white to Technicolor.

About time

JOHNSTON, R.I. – A World War II veteran from Rhode Island finally received the military honors he earned in combat while in the Army.

Eighty-nine-year-old Alfred Bettencourt, of Cranston, was presented with the Bronze Star, Purple Heart and other medals on Monday afternoon at the Morgan Health Center in Johnston.


U.S. Sen. Jack Reed hosted the surprise ceremony that was planned by Bettencourt's family and the Cranston police and fire departments. They worked with Reed's office to obtain the medals Bettencourt earned.


Bettencourt was 18 when he was wounded in France on Dec. 12, 1944. His military records were destroyed in a fire in 1973.


More than 855,000 World War II veterans were alive as of Jan. 1, according to data from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.


Approximately 16 million Americans served in the war.

It took me 3 times, 2 divorces, 2 set of lawyers I should have gotten the Purple Heart. She doesn't have a sister but I'll look into a cousin for you.
