That has nothing to do with the good old days. There have always beeen pure loves and innocent people throughout the ages. Evil and twisted relationships have also always existed, now and in the past.
Would ppl stop & think before thumbs downning this very sweet story? Why would you sour apples be so inclined to cast yr shadows on what God has joined together? You might at least be happy for others. But GOD be with you, anyways. He loves you.
Finding love late in life is not "cute", any more than viewing a redwood tree or a starry sky on a clear night is cute--it's breath-taking and beautiful! Enduring love is a powerful lesson for younger lovers: take notes!
What an absolutely beautiful love story! This shows the power of pure, true love. And its a miracle how both ended single again and found one another again. Its so heart warming to see them now spend the senior / retiring years together.
I work as a hospice nurse. One night, I've received an urgent phone call from the daughter of my patient, asking for a visit since her dad started having a hard time breathing. I've rushed there and after a look at the gentleman I knew he was close to dying. I made sure he received medication to make him more comfortable and after a while he calmed down. We sat by his bed and the daughter told me his story. When he was 18, he fell in love with a girl, whose mother was not found of him. Regardless, the girl loved him dearly. However, girl's dad died and mother decided to move to California, despite pleads from the youngsters. They even got engaged, but the mother never changed her plans. She moved with her daughter and severed all contacts. Years passed, this man got married, had 5 daughters. A few years after his wife's death, he decided to attend his old high school reunion. And there she was... his young love. They got together and fell in love again. She was divorced, never felt happy in life. They were discussing marriage, but this gentleman got sick, she couldn't even visit due to her own ailments, but they kept on calling each other. While I was listening to daughter's story, I got this feeling, that we have to contact this woman. The daughter called her, I took the phone and told her what's going to happen soon. Then we put the phone to his ear and she was able to say one last time how much she loved him. He became very calm... and shortly after that he'd died, peacefully. He needed to hear her one more time. Till now it makes me smile through tears...
There is always that special place in your heart for your first love . Even tho you go on with your life you still think back what if ! God always knows best and in this story he knew this was right !
@@narniagirl1574 l hope you find your soul mate one day Narniagirl.. I know it is hard to find such a person.. It will happen when you are not expecting it. I have never found a soul mate either all ends in disaster. Haha.
A soul mate is someone who mates with your soul. For me it s a person i come home to and tell all my ups ans downs.. now idk if we are soul mates that made an agreement before coming to earth to find eachother and b together but we love eachother, we fight for this relationship bcs it s not all sunshine and butterflyes and honey and milk, so be careful not to idealise relationships. Just be open to all posibilities. I always though that my soulmate will have a day job ans he d love books and etc, turns out he s a freelancer and loves like 1 book only 😂 life susprised me and i embraced it just the same
@ Julie Lambert.. True.. but they should have both waited for each other then they could have spent most of their lives together, instead of forming lives with someone else.. the curse of war.. but God bless them all anyway.. it just goes to show we’ve got to be careful about our actions, that they don’t put out other people, or hurt other people.. having faith that things will work out the way they’re meant to be (in God’s will) and not someone else’s will
if I was Otto, I would not have stopped writing my 1st sweetheart. And I didnt. we moved 500 miles away and through the US mail system, our love got stronger in our letters. when I turned 18, I moved back, got a job, saved a few dollars, and got my dream girl. two grown sons, and 40 yrs now later, she's my bestest best friend. still.
Dislike. For not replying constantly to her then end up marrying others for over 50 years and then decide to marry once widowed?? Ahh not romantic at all now that is sad. And I think there's a movie out there similar to this story called The Notebook.
81 miserable fools now. I met my love in 1983. She was a senior at UGA while I was a Police Officer only 26. That summer we had a world wind romance but at the end of the year while she was on winter break I was on my way to LA for the Olympics. The training was strenuous and I didn't hear from her except somehow I received something forwarded by mail. At the end of the Games I came back to UGA and when I called her I heard she had just gotten married. I was heart broken for the rest of my life and never ever had another romance. I talk to her once by phone on her 44th birthday. She was divorced from two marriages having had three boys. As a Catholic she told me before if she did get married she'd never do it again. I never did talk to her again after that. I'll wait for the next go round.
@@mtsflorida Oh boy. Well that's a little different in that you guys are in touch (though not constantly), yet she still got married twice. Correct me if I'm wrong. But if that is how it goes, the feelings probably aren't neutral. You love her to pieces, but she may not be so head over heels with you. I'll say, get on with your life. Will take time to get over, but you'll be fine with time. Hugs
How wonderful I just talked to my first love after 31years I've always loved him and never married I was told he was killed very young I she'd millions of tears always in my heart unfortantky he dosnt feel the same so these two are very lucky godbless both of you wishing you many hapoy years together❤️🙏😊🌹
May I ask..Did you not marry because in your heart you wanted him. I'm 31 and I feel the same for someone I met as teenagers but I think he doesn't feel the same for me.
Aww 🥰 that is so beautiful, I’m so glad yous ended up together after all those years, God bless you both always, thank you 🙏 for sharing xoxo Roberta from Ireland 🍀🍀🍀🍀
That's what you call a Soul Bond/Soul Family!! Nothing can separate that type of bond. Nothing!!! Our choices however, determine if what God has purposed will come to fruition. To think that they were robbed of 50 years together is a bit hard on the heart. I know they went on to have spouses/children, but it does make me think twice that her father's decision to prevent her from seeing her one true love ultimately prevented what God had originally intended. In the end though, God's will was ultimately done and who am I to guess what the good Lord is thinking or planning! I wish the happy couple many years full of blessings, joy and laughter 🙏💕😇
oh merciful,graceful God... you are good,your ways are mysterious... this story touched my heart in a deep way... yes,l attest,true love does exist... shout out to an ever blazing God...
The Gods must have loved their friendship and so have them a second chance to even it though after 58 years. The world is nice for these kind of stories. Love it. 👍👌
Beautiful uplifting stories. Thank you Lord for always looking out for all your children here on Earth, I love you always amen. Thanks for the uplifting your stories give me everyday. Good bless us all
What a beautiful miracle story so touching! Yes I believe that love never fails and it’s so powerful ever. 👍🏼✨♥️🕊🙌🏽🔥🙏🏽🔥👏🏼🕊♥️✨✨♥️🕊🎼🎶🎶🌹🎶🎶🎼🕊♥️✨♥️🌹🌹🎶👫🎶🌹🌹♥️✨
My in-laws met on a blind date when my father-in-law stood in at the last minute for his ill cousin. They married on August 9, 1941. He was drafted three years later when they had a two year old little boy. He survived fighting on the ground in Germany and made it back home safely. He died just 6 weeks shy of their 65th anniversary. Theirs was a great love story as well.
This made me cry like a baby I believe you touch my heart with ur story / amazing story thanks for sharing us !!! True love can stand the test of time indeed !
God is full of wonders and Miracles, GOD'S PLAN and WILL has to be fulfilled one day one time, His ways no one can understand. This story really makes me think of how God is soo good to us always. He fulfils the desires of our hearts regardless of our age, whether young or old, to Him this is His perfect time always Amen to this and may this old couples live to praise the Lord. Amen
I felt this love, I married him to. And when our relationship went through problems I had to leave. Still to this day the energy is so intense we both feel it. It's a sad love story that I wish I could have received marriage communicate tools to help us through this rough patch in our life. He is my soulmate. I asked the other day if I could make us live life with no worries would you move down south with me, his answer was yes.. this love story isn't over... God knows what he is doing.
I'm afraid I could never get hold off. My true Love ever again whom I in Feb,1963 whom I met at our German Lutheran Church,an evening for the German sailors from the ship Graf Spee in Vancouver,B.C. Canada.M dad drove my sister Gabriele and me to our church for an evening off a get together.My sister was 16 and was 18.My dad picked us up a few hours later and promised Volker UND Peter to show them the beautíful city off Vancouver on Sunday which my dad did (my dad was a sailor in the German Navy 1944etc.my mom had made a German Sunday dinner and than we said good bye,my dad drove them back to their ship.Two days later I get a movement from my German sailor,so my dad decided we drive. To Seattle harbour about a 2 hour drive. And my German sailor Volker was on board,so we spend some time together, and than we left back to NrW Westminster,B.C. I never really dated and I wàs super shy,but we wrote to each other for 2 years and that. I wrote my German sailor in July 1965 a good bye letter and married another Dec25,1965 which U regret to this day. Even though we were married 17 years,he was not a nice person,a wife abuser.than in 1985 I tried to reach him,my beloved German sailor,hoping he had a heathy,happylife,I was divorced already 3 years ¹982 divorce was final.The o my address I had was his parents address.No reply,2nd letter I registered and the answer I got from his MOTHER,leave him alone.That was that,there was nothing I could do a tomorrow,his mother probably threw my letters in the garbage. Age 42 5 years after my husband divorce,I married again that lasted 13 years in 1999
My high school sweetheart and I still talk. We went separate paths because of military and war pretty much like this couple. We both joined the Army at age 18 during Vietnam war. He being the hopeless romantic always says What if. Me being the level headed one tells him we might not still be talking if things happened differently.
That is a sweet story, and I wouldn’t wish anything but happiness for them. But I can’t help but feel bad for the deceased spouses who never had their whole hearts. Of course, I know nothing about their previous marriages.
After watching this I believe they are both the kind of people who gave their whole hearts to their spouses and were loving and devoted to their families. There are many, many stories similar to this one that came out of the War years. Many other couples who were separated when the men were deployed; getting letters to enlisted men was difficult as they were stationed and moved all over the world. In the end, some of those relationships just flickered out because of this lack of communication, and many times the women had no idea where their men were or even if they were still alive. Just as Betty Jean said to herself way back then - "Well, life goes on. I'd better get on with things". The miracle is that they both found themselves alone 50 years later and that Betty Jean was bold enough to make that phone call! Their years together will be fewer than they had initially hoped for, but will probably be that much richer.
@@DelbertTritsch - I think "love" was defined in vastly different ways in the 1940's than it is today. It was more of a decision back then, and is more of an emotion now - sometimes a very juvenile emotion. Women like Betty Jean understood their future lay in finding a "good" man who was a hard worker, had decent morals and would make a steady father. They also understood that by the age of 25 they would start to be considered as "old maids", second choice wives. She had to let go of her melting heart for Otto and get practical. She dated a number of men, one proposed to her, he met her criteria for a husband, they got married, had children, built a life, and had respect and "love" for one another, although it may not have been the "soft kisses" and "stomach butterflies" kind of love that she had had for Otto. Today, everything seems to be more about the "wedding" than the "marriage". It's all seen as soft kisses and stomach butterflies and seldom anything more sturdy or everlasting - hence the reason for the 50% divorce rate that is the norm now. There might have been something boring and less than fairytale fodder when your man left the house at 4:00 a.m. and came back in at 6:00 p.m. covered in axle grease, dirt and cow manure, and you were exhausted from scrubbing laundry in a tub and running it through the mangler while 5 kids under the age of 6 hung around your ankles all day, but it was a partnership, unspoken, a "business" to keep the farm and home intact, always 50 cents short and a day late with the bills. Now, the minute the "soft kisses" and "stomach butterflies" turn to accusations, infidelities, lying and total emotional separation, the divorce papers show up. I doubt that either Betty Jean or Otto ever considered divorcing their spouses no matter how horrific the day(s) had been. They would have been dumbfounded at the suggestion that maybe they'd be better off apart - it just wasn't part of the "decision" they had made. I'm glad for Betty Jean and Otto that they got to experience BOTH kinds of love - "decided" love and emotional love.
Im feeling the same thoughts as you. Firstly i thought they were going to have lots of grandchildren. Never expecting them to be married to another. She was married 50yrs..her spouse Clarence must be a good husband too. It was Betty Jean determination that she took the trouble to make the call. I do not see this as a Miracle. It is Destiny.
Awe, this was such a touching story. I'm 62 yrs. old been married twice, first husband we divorced, his cheating, second husband we separated then a year later he passed away. Now there is a man in my life but I dont feel like he's the one, maybe i havnt met the right one. Who know's what my life hold's, time will tell💗
No they can't be any cuter 😍❣️ but seriously the love they share is such a wonderful and blessed thing for them and I envy them! I lost my love and best friend right before our 44th anniversary a year ago and we had a love like this❣️
That's such a wonderful story. How amazing......such a wonderful love story.....my heart is just fluttering for them.....its so sweet.....God Bless them........♡♡♡♡♡
THIS SHOW SHOULD BE BROUGHT BACK! THE WORLD NEEDS TO SEE THE POWER OF GOD, HIS LOVE AND MIRACLES IN THE LIVES OF MANKIND.
Julie Lambert AMEN! I hope somehow it comes back in the telly
You are so right
Agreed
Amen.

They need to revamp this show and bring it back! It's such an inspiring show!
I literally said the same thing verbatim! We need to bring it back!
You can't stop what's meant to be. ❤️
AMEN!

It is so

wow.. it was like watching a movie, I just love the old-time love stories...
Good old days when people were innocent and love was pure ...
😭😭
That has nothing to do with the good old days. There have always beeen pure loves and innocent people throughout the ages. Evil and twisted relationships have also always existed, now and in the past.
So true.
I especially loved this one! This story could be made into a movie
Pearl Harbor 3 movie
Cant believe to hear such a beautiful love story. Really someone cud turn this story into a movie.
Chickie. True. They were meant to be together.

Thank you, Otto, for your service!
Uess I should start answering calls on my phone that I donr recognize. Maybe a call from the past which would be wonderful!!!!!!
Maybe i should answer unknown number on my phone..........
Awww Love is a magnificent thing. God bless you two
Love is patience
What an absolutely beautiful love story! This shows the power of pure, true love. And its a miracle how both ended single again and found one another again. Its so heart warming to see them now spend the senior / retiring years together.

What a beautiful story, Yes, love is all powerful.
This was one of the best! All of the stories are special but this one just had that "something special" added to it! What a happy ending!
Awww so sweet! True love! Just melts my heart!
I am so happy for them. Life is a mystery: how is it that some people meet their soul-mate, and others don't? I am very happy for those who do.

Love is soo beautiful
God bless
Truly a miracle
wow that was just breathtaking...beautiful story!
My high school sweetheart and I still talk. We went separate paths because of military and war pretty much like this couple. We both joined the Army at age 18 during Vietnam war. He being the hopeless romantic always says What if. Me being the level headed one tells him we might not still be talking if things happened differently.
Marie Smith aweeee
Awww this made my heart melt and it made me cry. Such a beautiful story to watch xx
Trying to flash back and see if I have ever experienced true love,, guess not yet, but that is so sweet
This is just the sweetest thing!
That is a sweet story, and I wouldn’t wish anything but happiness for them. But I can’t help but feel bad for the deceased spouses who never had their whole hearts. Of course, I know nothing about their previous marriages.
After watching this I believe they are both the kind of people who gave their whole hearts to their spouses and were loving and devoted to their families. There are many, many stories similar to this one that came out of the War years. Many other couples who were separated when the men were deployed; getting letters to enlisted men was difficult as they were stationed and moved all over the world. In the end, some of those relationships just flickered out because of this lack of communication, and many times the women had no idea where their men were or even if they were still alive. Just as Betty Jean said to herself way back then - "Well, life goes on. I'd better get on with things". The miracle is that they both found themselves alone 50 years later and that Betty Jean was bold enough to make that phone call! Their years together will be fewer than they had initially hoped for, but will probably be that much richer.
2ndhandSue To your thoughts, I certainly believe love is more of a decision than an emotion.
@@DelbertTritsch - I think "love" was defined in vastly different ways in the 1940's than it is today. It was more of a decision back then, and is more of an emotion now - sometimes a very juvenile emotion. Women like Betty Jean understood their future lay in finding a "good" man who was a hard worker, had decent morals and would make a steady father. They also understood that by the age of 25 they would start to be considered as "old maids", second choice wives. She had to let go of her melting heart for Otto and get practical. She dated a number of men, one proposed to her, he met her criteria for a husband, they got married, had children, built a life, and had respect and "love" for one another, although it may not have been the "soft kisses" and "stomach butterflies" kind of love that she had had for Otto. Today, everything seems to be more about the "wedding" than the "marriage". It's all seen as soft kisses and stomach butterflies and seldom anything more sturdy or everlasting - hence the reason for the 50% divorce rate that is the norm now. There might have been something boring and less than fairytale fodder when your man left the house at 4:00 a.m. and came back in at 6:00 p.m. covered in axle grease, dirt and cow manure, and you were exhausted from scrubbing laundry in a tub and running it through the mangler while 5 kids under the age of 6 hung around your ankles all day, but it was a partnership, unspoken, a "business" to keep the farm and home intact, always 50 cents short and a day late with the bills. Now, the minute the "soft kisses" and "stomach butterflies" turn to accusations, infidelities, lying and total emotional separation, the divorce papers show up. I doubt that either Betty Jean or Otto ever considered divorcing their spouses no matter how horrific the day(s) had been. They would have been dumbfounded at the suggestion that maybe they'd be better off apart - it just wasn't part of the "decision" they had made. I'm glad for Betty Jean and Otto that they got to experience BOTH kinds of love - "decided" love and emotional love.
Im feeling the same thoughts as you. Firstly i thought they were going to have lots of grandchildren. Never expecting them to be married to another. She was married 50yrs..her spouse Clarence must be a good husband too. It was Betty Jean determination that she took the trouble to make the call. I do not see this as a Miracle. It is Destiny.
2ndhandSue I agree with you. It’s society that has changed; love is still the same. I think you may have intimated that fact.
"Amazing and Great"That Is God Will"!"...Amen.
Awe, this was such a touching story. I'm 62 yrs. old been married twice, first husband we divorced, his cheating, second husband we separated then a year later he passed away. Now there is a man in my life but I dont feel like he's the one, maybe i havnt met the right one. Who know's what my life hold's, time will tell💗
Awwww😍 it's impossible to be with my first love at the moment but this story just gave me an utmost hope. Hope it won't take us decades though 😉
Touched my heart!
I am so happy for this couple. 🧡🧡🧡
No they can't be any cuter 😍❣️ but seriously the love they share is such a wonderful and blessed thing for them and I envy them! I lost my love and best friend right before our 44th anniversary a year ago and we had a love like this❣️
