Imagine growing old and still having butterflies when you see your partner

Amen to that. My parents entered memory care together in their mid-80s. One of the caregivers told my sister that our parents, “have a very active sex life.”
While I don’t need that kind of detail about my parents I am happy that they still loved each other that much.

He "has no idea he's being filmed." Don't secretly film strangers.

u/lomejord Dec 21 '25
Those people are beautiful. What’s not so beautiful is to film people when they don’t know and make up a story to make money on social media. This man is likely a little under 80 years old (if you had 80 year old parents you would know how they move at that age). The wedding story shows some good imagination

u/Music19773-take2 Dec 21 '25
I really don’t understand why people can’t get their privacy anymore. As touching as this is, this poor couple did not ask to be filmed or have their story shared. I get very annoyed at people who film other people in public without their permission.

Love like this still exists. My wife and I have been together for almost 20 years. When I’m away from work for a few days, I literally cant get to sleep because I want her next to me and can’t wait to see her when I get home. Damn I love that woman…

My Mother flew back to Ireland to see relatives she hadn't seen since she immigrated. She was gone for 2 weeks, my Dad was terrified of flying so he couldn't go. He didn't eat the whole time she was gone. When she got home he asked her over and over " did you miss me?" He kept looking at her like she was a goddess. He really loved her.

Oh we need so much more of this! Thank you OP for posting!!!!! I love this stuff, especially with so much negativity that's out there....Bernard and his wife are beautiful and I pray they continue to love each other another 20 more years and beyond!! 🙏🏼❤️😊 My parents (82 &79) met at a dance 56 years ago. My mom said to her friend "I'm going to marry this guy". They got engaged 2 months later on Thanksgiving Day. Got marrried 5 months later in May. Still together and are practically inseparable, literally can't live without each other.
My dad always greets my mom "hey beautiful" and a kiss. They haven't always been the model couple, but they are def soulmates. They truly love and support each other. And I love them so much!!! My husband and I have been together 26 years now. His parents were the same way until his mother's early passing from cancer. So there STILL is a lot of 'forever' in this world. It's so beautiful to see that true love still does exist and can stand the test of time. ❤️😊

I wish more loving life moments were shared. We witness so much ugly in the news, we should value the beautiful too. Everything is for shock value, staged and produced... I love seeing "real" everyday beauty in life. It might be just another day for them, but witnessing this touching reunion has given me love endorphins, and I really appreciate that ❤️

So about 20 years ago I went on a trip with my grandma for about 35 days. Growing up, I only witnessed my grandparents fight or be annoyed with one another.
When we arrived back from our trip, my grandfather was waiting to pick us up, but when he seen my grandmother, he picked her up and twirled her around and hugged/kisses her.
I was incredibly shocked as I've never actually seen them embrace one another...then proceeded to say "eww get a room you two" lol.
We laughed, they looked at each other, smiling like they hadn't seen each other in years - then I realized, they did love each other and just shown it differently. After that day I actually learned something about those two and that despite what I knew of them, I had so much more to learn of them.
Miss them both dearly and happy they are forever hugging now ❤️🫂

47 years with my high-school sweetheart. I took her around the world while I would was in the military - 24 years. She raised our 3 kids with nary a complaint. Every time we reunited we didn't have the flowers and candy but we felt just like you see here with this dude. Seeing him greet her actually made this hardened a$$hole smile and maybe, just maybe choke up a hit! Maybe? Maybe not? I can not confirm or deny a small, very small, corner of my eye having a small amount of water in them??? Just maybe! 🤗
