This elderly couple’s story proves that true love exists

Old age comes with all sorts of challenges. While this may drive some couples apart, John and his wife cannot imagine living without each other.

“I was a telephone engineer and she was a telephone operator. And I saw this shapely piece walking down the switch room with her hair flowing and I said to myself ‘she is the one for me’ and it’s 70 years since our first date,” says the husband, John, who suffers from a heart disease.

And John is not the only one who is facing a terrible disease, his wife is also suffering from a brain disease. “My wife, she’s in her first stage of Alzheimer’s which there is no cure for. The snag is you know it’s not going to get any better. I’m sorry. But that’s the way it is. It’s sad but I can’t be greedy, we’ve both had a good life together,” John says.

He then goes on to share some of the sweetest moments they have experienced in their love journey, and he shares them in a way that will make all of us want to be in love forever.
