A true-life love story
My mom is getting married in July to a man she met and fell in love with fifty years ago while they were in Kirkby Teacher Training College together. His parents had objected to their marriage, having already made a choice for their son. So the young lovers sacrificed their love for each other, for the sake of his filial love for his parents.
Besides, they would have had a miserable marriage, anyway, had they not the blessings of his parents who would have made my mother feel so excluded.
They lost touch after graduating from college, each going their separate ways, and having families of their own. His wife passed away five years ago of a weak heart. My father passed away 18 months ago of end-stage renal failure and a weak heart.
Recently, after fifty years, and at the age of 70, they were re-united at their College reunion dinner. And they realised that their love for each other is still as strong as ever...
good for them. not all people are given a 2nd chance. my best wishes and congratulations to your mom and soon-to-be stepdad. i wish both of them good health and more years of togetherness. i think they just defined the word "soulmates." ~ Mara
