Thanks for posting this OP. What an amazing couple and it's great to know their love lasted a lifetime.

Some of us do remember.

When I was a very little girl about 69 I asked my mum what she thought of me marrying the little boy I had a crush on when we grew up. She said it wouldnt be easy, and no parent ever wants a hard life for their child.

40 years later she blesses the fact that my partner is so wonderful, and I was lucky enough to find him. (and no not the same little boy, but we did meet in HS)

As someone who was raised in Texas with a white mother and a black father, this post means something very special to me. Thank you, OP.

I read this the other day, and I was amazed that it was posted in the Daily Mail, of all places. And most of the comments were even positive!
