    Is anyone else humming "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds to themselves?

    I have always loved this Irish proverb: "There is no love like the love of an old man for his old wife." These two had that! Look at the expressions on their faces...
    May the angels be waiting for you, Frank.

    Aw sniffy moment. I am always glad my Mom was at the hospice when my Dad (also Frank) passed on. At the end she refused to leave for that exact reason. They made it to 59 years together. My Dad always joked, "who else would put up with us?"

    Crap, now I officially worked into a full fledged cry. Off to the wine bottle!

    This is the kind of love I hope for, even after coming from two generations of divorce. Rest in peace, Frank. Stay strong, Anita.

    The juxtaposition of this picture against the Melrose Place ad running beneath is very odd.

    Aw, this makes me miss my grandfather, who died last year. He and my grandmother were married for 72 years.

    @LoSpaz: Mine were married for 70something years, too. They died three years apart, which shocked everyone. We all sort of thought that she would soon follow, as they had been together for so long. *sniffle*

    As long as they are happy, I don't care. My boyfriend is 15 years older than me but it's not something I really think about. When we talk it's like the age difference doesn't exist. It just always depends on the people in the relationship. The only bad thing about being the younger one is knowing they will age faster and likely die before you. :(

    I find this far more charming than John Cleese making a point of dating women 40 years his junior (or so he thought) just to make his ex-wife feel crappy.

    Um, it is dyslexia- or being dyslexic.


    One of my brothers is dyslexic and it never stopped him from meeting girls, but alas, I do understand that people sometimes have a harder time socially. (Like me, one boyfriend... even though I had dated casually before him)


    I think it is great that they are happy together, I just don't think it should be big news, because there are men marrying much younger women all the time and that isn't considered news.

    I don't really get it, but that's the joy of life, I don't have to get whatever make someone else happy. They are two consenting adults, so mazel tov to the happy couple.
