Our love will always be real

True love means planning a life for two
Being together the whole day through
True love means waiting and hoping that soon

Many blessings for you both, this is my husband's mail. We were married for 40 years he passed away last month. Took care of him for 1 and 1/2 years of this cancer. Miss him.

This song brings tears to my eyes. I met my ’ Paula’ when I was a teenager. We married young in 1970. She was my first and only love and she died suddenly two years ago after 51 years of happy marriage. I’ll love her forever. God bless you Corey-Ann.❤ John

This song reminds me of my husband and I. We were 10 when we met, his family lived next door to my aunt, we were all pretty close, when we were 12 he proposed, I said yes but we kept it a secret, I wasn’t allowed to date or have a boyfriend, my parents were super strict. We graduated in 1976 and got married, after 4 kids, 10 grandkids and 6 great grandkids we’re still married. I don’t know why, but it seems marriages before 1980 last along time, 46 years for us
