Oude liefde roest niet
Dacht je dat The Notebook romantisch was? Dan heb je het verhaal vanĀ Bob Phillips uit South Carolina nog niet gehoord. Toen Bob en zijn vrouw Gail hun 61-jarigeĀ anniversaryĀ vierde, stuurde Bob een brief in naar de pagina met huwelijksaankondigingen van de lokale krant.
“Dear Gail, I look at newspaper pictures of new brides every Sunday. I’m searching. I want to see if there is now or ever will be another bride as lovely as you. Been doing that since June 27, 1953. Actually, I already know the answer. There is notāand never will be to meāyour equal in loveliness,”Ā aldus de 87 jaar oude man.
“On our wedding day you were the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. The delightful truth is that you still are. Happy anniversary, sweetheart. You’ve made me and you keep me the happiest and most grateful husband any bride could ever know. Iād gladly welcome another 61 years of marriage with you. Beyond that I pray we will spend eternity together. All my love, Bob”
