Romantic stories for a girl you like. Short stories for the soul

People from different countries talk about joyful moments in their lives... (translation of the article “Tiny Love Stories to Make You Smile” on fit4brain.com)

Today I told my 18-year-old grandson that no one invited me to my high school graduation, so I didn't go. He showed up at my house this evening, dressed in a suit, and took me to his prom as his date.

Today I was sitting in the park, eating my sandwich for lunch, when I saw a car with an elderly couple pull up to an old oak tree nearby. His windows rolled down and the sounds of good jazz could be heard. Then the man got out of the car, helped his companion out, took her a few meters away from the car, and for the next half hour they danced under an ancient oak tree to the sounds of beautiful melodies.

Today I operated on a little girl. She needed the first blood type. We didn't have one, but her twin brother has the same group. I explained to him that this was a matter of life and death. He thought for a moment and then said goodbye to his parents. I didn't pay attention until we drew blood and he asked, "So when do I die?" He thought he was giving his life for her. Fortunately, they are both fine now.

Today my dad is the best father anyone could ask for. He is my mother's loving husband (always makes her laugh), he has been to every one of my soccer games since I was 5 years old (I'm 17 now), and he provides for our entire family as a construction foreman. This morning, when I was looking through my father's toolbox for pliers, I found dirty folded paper at the bottom. It was an old journal entry written by my father exactly a month before the day I was born. It read: “I am eighteen years old, an alcoholic college dropout, a failed suicide victim, a victim of child abuse, and a criminal history of auto theft. And next month, “teen dad” will also appear on the list. But I swear that I will do everything right for my baby. I will be the father I never had." And I don't know how he did it, but he did it.

Today my 8 year old son hugged me and said, “You are the best mom in the world.” I smiled and asked sarcastically, “How do you know? You haven’t seen all the mothers in the world.” But my son, in response to this, hugged me even tighter and said: “I saw it.” My world is you."

Today I saw an elderly patient with severe Alzheimer's disease. He can rarely remember his own name and often forgets where he is and what he said a minute earlier. But by some miracle (and I think this miracle is called love), every time his wife comes to visit him, he remembers who she is and greets her with “Hello, my beautiful Kate.”

Today my Labrador is 21 years old. He can barely stand up, can barely see or hear anything, and doesn't even have the strength to bark. But every time I enter the room, he wags his tail happily.

Today is our 10th anniversary, but since my husband and I were recently unemployed, we agreed not to spend money on gifts. When I woke up this morning, my husband was already in the kitchen. I went downstairs and saw beautiful wild flowers all over the house. There were at least 400 of them, and he really didn't spend a penny.

My 88 year old grandmother and her 17 year old cat are both blind. My grandmother is helped around the house by a guide dog, which is natural and normal. However, recently the dog began to lead the cat around the house. When a cat meows, the dog comes up and rubs its nose against it. Then the cat gets up and begins to follow the dog - to the food, to the “toilet”, to the chair in which she likes to sleep.

Today my older brother donated his bone marrow for the 16th time to help me treat cancer. He communicated directly with the doctor, and I didn’t even know about it. And today my doctor told me that the treatment seems to be working: “The number of cancer cells has dropped dramatically in the last few months.”

Today I was driving home with my grandfather when he suddenly made a U-turn and said: “I forgot to buy a bouquet of flowers for grandma. Let's go to the florist on the corner. It will only take a second." “What is so special today that you have to buy her flowers?” I asked. “Nothing special,” said grandfather. “Every day is special. Your grandmother loves flowers. They make her smile."
Today I re-read the suicide letter I wrote on September 2, 1996, two minutes before my girlfriend knocked on the door and said, “I'm pregnant.” Suddenly I felt that I wanted to live again. Today she is my beloved wife. And my daughter, who is already 15 years old, has two younger brothers. From time to time I re-read this suicide letter to remind myself how grateful I am to have a second chance to live and love.

Today, my 11-year-old son speaks fluent sign language because his friend Josh, with whom he grew up since infancy, is deaf. I love seeing their friendship grow stronger every year.

Today I am the proud mother of a 17-year-old blind boy. Although my son was born blind, this did not stop him from studying excellently, becoming a guitarist (the first album of his band has already exceeded 25,000 downloads online) and a great guy for his girlfriend Valerie. Today his little sister asked him what he loved most about Valerie and he replied, “Everything. She's beautiful."

Today I served an elderly couple in a restaurant. They looked at each other in such a way that it was immediately clear that they loved each other. When the man mentioned that they were celebrating their anniversary, I smiled and said, “Let me guess. You have been together for many, many years.” They smiled and the woman said, “Actually, no. Today is our fifth anniversary. We both outlived our spouses, but fate gave us another chance to love.”

Today my dad found my little sister alive, chained to the wall in the barn. She was kidnapped near Mexico City five months ago. Authorities gave up searching for her two weeks after she disappeared. My mother and I came to terms with her death - we buried her last month. Our whole family and her friends came to the funeral. Everyone except her father - he was the only one who continued to look for her. “I love her too much to give up,” he said. And now she's home - because he really didn't give up.

Today I found in our papers my mother’s old diary, which she kept in high school. It contained a list of qualities she hoped to someday find in her boyfriend. This list is an almost exact description of my father, but my mother only met him when she was 27.

Today in the school chemistry lab, my partner was one of the most beautiful (and popular) girls in the whole school. And although I had not even dared to talk to her before, she turned out to be very simple and sweet. We chatted and laughed during class, but in the end we still got an A (she also turned out to be smart). After that we started communicating outside of class. Last week, when I found out that she had not yet chosen who to go to the school prom with, I wanted to invite her, but again I didn’t have the courage. And today, during lunch break in a cafe, she ran up to me and asked if I would like to invite her. So I did, and she kissed me on the cheek and said, “Yes!”

Today my grandfather has an old photograph on his nightstand from the 60s of him and his grandmother laughing happily at some party. My grandmother died of cancer in 1999 when I was 7. Today I stopped by his house and my grandfather saw me looking at this photo. He came up to me, hugged me and said, “Remember, just because something doesn’t last forever doesn’t mean it’s not worth it.”

Today I tried to explain to my two daughters, ages 4 and 6, that we would have to move from our four-bedroom house to an apartment with just two until I found a new well-paying job. The daughters looked at each other for a moment, and then the youngest asked: “Are we all going to move there together?” “Yes,” I replied. “Well, then there’s nothing wrong with it,” she said.
Today I was sitting on the hotel balcony and saw a couple in love walking on the beach. It was clear from their body language that they were truly enjoying each other's company. As they came closer, I realized that they were my parents. And 8 years ago they almost got divorced.

Today, when I tapped my wheelchair and told my husband, “You know, you are the only reason I would like to be free of this thing,” he kissed my forehead and replied, “Honey, I don’t even notice it.”

Today my grandparents, who were in their nineties and had been together for 72 years, both died in their sleep, about an hour apart.

Today my 6 year old autistic sister said her first word – my name.

Today, at the age of 72, 15 years after my grandfather's death, my grandmother is remarrying. I am 17 years old, and in my entire life I have never seen her so happy. It’s so inspiring to see people at that age so in love with each other. It's never too late.

On this day, almost 10 years ago, I stopped at an intersection and another car crashed into me. His driver was a student at the University of Florida - like me. He apologized cordially. While we were waiting for the police and the tow truck, we started talking and soon couldn’t help but laugh at each other’s jokes. We exchanged numbers and the rest is history. We recently celebrated our 8th anniversary.

Today, as my 91-year-old grandfather (military doctor, war hero and successful businessman) lay in his hospital bed, I asked him what he considered his greatest achievement. He turned to his grandmother, took her hand and said: “The fact that I grew old with her.”

Today, as I watched my 75-year-old grandparents in the kitchen having fun and laughing at each other's jokes, I realized that I had a brief glimpse of what true love is. I hope someday I will be able to find her.
On this day, exactly 20 years ago, I risked my life to save a woman who was being swept away by the fast current of the Colorado River. This is how I met my wife - the love of my life.

Today, on our 50th wedding anniversary, she smiled at me and said, “I wish I had met you sooner.”

All these touching and sweet stories from real life, after reading which you begin to believe that this world is not so bad...

This is the power of love! So different, but so real!

I teach English at a social center for the disabled and pensioners. So before the lesson starts, my elderly students bustle around, open their notebooks, put on glasses and hearing aids. And so the 81-year-old student, adjusting his hearing aid, said to his wife:

Tell me something.

“I love you,” she answered in a whisper.

What? - he adjusted his device.

They both became embarrassed and he kissed her tenderly on the cheek. I have to teach English, but I'm crying. Love exists!

I’m 32. They didn’t sell me a martini in the store (I didn’t take my passport). The husband shouted across the hall: “Yes, sell it to my daughter, everything is fine.”

My grandfather loved borscht very much. And so the grandmother cooked it all month, with the exception of one day, when she cooked some soup. And it was on this day, after eating a bowl of soup, the grandfather said: “The soup is good, of course, but, Petrovna, could you cook some borscht tomorrow? I missed him madly.”

For 3 years of relationship they gave me socks, SOCKS! The most common cheap socks! When I opened the “gift” with a suspicious face, something fell out of one and jumped under the sofa. Containing righteous anger, she climbed after him, and there, covered in dust, lay a beautiful wedding ring! I get out, look, and this miracle is on its knees with a blissful smile and says: “Dobby wants to have an owner!”

My aunt has three children. It so happened that the middle child has been ill for 4 years and part of his brain has been removed. Constant intensive care, expensive medications. In general, you wouldn’t wish it on your enemy. The eldest, 6 years old, dreams of having hair down to her toes. I never cut my hair, I didn’t even allow the ends - I immediately got hysterical. Her class teacher calls and says she didn’t come to her last lesson. It turned out that instead of a lesson, she asked some high school student to cut her hair in order to sell her hair and buy medicine for the younger one.

From the moment my newborn daughter began to utter her first sounds, I secretly taught her to say the word “mom” from my wife, so that this would be her first word spoken. And then the other day I came home earlier than usual, and no one heard me. I go into a room with my wife and child, and my wife secretly teaches my daughter to pronounce the word “dad”...

Today I asked my husband why he no longer says that he loves me. He answered that after I crashed his car, the very fact that I was still healthy and living in his house was proof of his ardent love.

How interesting how fortune works: on the bus I came across a lucky ticket, I ate it, and ten hours later I ended up in the hospital with poisoning, where I met the life of my life.

When I went to school, my mother always woke me up in the morning. Now I’m studying in another city several thousand kilometers away, I have to go to school by 8:30, and my mother has to go to work by 10, but every morning she calls me at 7 in the morning and wishes me good morning. Take care of your mothers: they are the most valuable thing you have.

Lately, I often hear from others: “love has passed,” “he is not who he was before,” “she has changed”... My great-grandmother said: imagine your soul mate sick and helpless. Illness takes away the beauty from a person, and helplessness shows real feelings. You can look after him day and night, feed him with a spoon and clean up after him, receiving in return only a feeling of gratitude - this is love, and everything else is children's whims.

At a friend's dacha, the door to their house slams shut. At night I wanted to smoke, so I quietly went outside when everyone was already asleep. I return - the door is closed. And exactly a minute later my girlfriend came out into the street, who felt that something was wrong, woke up and went to look for me. This is the power of love!

I worked in a store with chocolate products (figurines, etc.). A boy about 10-11 years old came in. Pencil case in hand. And then he says: “Is there anything no more than 300 rubles? This is for mom." I gave him the set and he dumped a bunch of coins on the table. And kopecks and rubles... We sat and counted them for about 15 minutes, so nice! Mom is very lucky with such a son: he probably spends his last money on chocolate for his mother.

I once saw how an old man met an old woman at a bus stop. At first he looked at her for a long, long time, and then he picked several branches of lilac, went up to this grandmother and said: “This lilac is as beautiful as you. My name is Ivan". It was so sweet. There is a lot to learn from him.

A story told by my girlfriend.

Today she went to the store with her younger brother (he is 2 years old). He saw a girl, about 3 years old. He grabbed her hand and dragged her along. The girl was in tears, but her father was not taken aback and said: “Get used to it, daughter, boys always show love in strange ways.”

When I told my mom about the girl I liked, she always asked two questions: “What color are her eyes?” and “What kind of ice cream does she like?” I'm 40 now and my mom died a long time ago, but I still remember that she had green eyes and loved chocolate chip cups, just like my wife.

Incredible facts

1. Today my 75-year-old grandfather, who has been suffering from cataracts for 15 years, which made him blind, said to me: “Your grandmother is the most beautiful thing that can be, right?”

I thought for a few seconds and said: “Yes, you’re right. You probably miss the time when you could see her beauty every day.” “Darling, I see her beauty every day. Moreover, now I see her better and brighter than when we were young.”

Love stories

2. Today I took my daughter to the altar. And ten years ago, I pulled a 14-year-old boy from his mother's burning SUV after a serious accident. Doctors said he would never walk again.

My daughter came to the hospital with me several times. Then she visited him herself. Today I see him defy fate, stand firmly on his two feet at the altar and place a ring on my daughter's finger.

3. Today I came to work at 7 am (I’m a florist) and saw a soldier standing near my store. He was heading to the airport to leave for Afghanistan for one year. “I give my wife a bouquet of flowers every Friday and I don’t want to leave her without them while I’m away,” he said.

He then placed an order for a bouquet of flowers to be delivered to his wife's office every Friday for 52 weeks until his return. I gave him a 50 percent discount because it was incredibly touching.

4. Today I told my 18-year-old grandson that no one invited me to the graduation when I graduated from high school, and therefore I did not go to it. That evening he came to me in a tuxedo and invited me to be his date to his graduation.

5. Today, when she woke up from an 11 month coma, she kissed me and said, “Thank you for being with me all the time, telling me these wonderful stories and fighting for me. And yes, I will marry you.”

6. I was sitting on a bench in the park and eating my sandwich when an elderly couple parked their car not far from a large oak tree. They rolled down the car windows and turned on jazz.

Then the man got out of the car, walked to the passenger door, helped his lady out, walked her a few meters closer to the oak tree, and they danced for the next half hour.

7. Today I operated on a little girl who urgently needed her first negative blood. Unfortunately, we did not have supplies of this blood, but her twin brother had it. I explained to him that this was a matter of life and death for his little sister. He sat quietly during the procedure, having said goodbye to his parents beforehand.

I didn’t even think about anything like that when, after the procedure was over, the boy asked me: “When will I die?” He thought that he had to give his life to save his sister's life. Thank God they are both fine.

Stories about love

8. I have the best father anyone could ask for. He's a loving husband to my mom who always makes her smile, and he's never missed my soccer games since I started playing at age 5 (I'm 17 now).

He provides for our entire family. This morning I was looking for pliers in my dad's tool box and found an old piece of paper folded many times. It had my father's handwriting on it, and the date was exactly one month before I was born.

This is what I read there: “I am 18 years old, an alcoholic who was kicked out of college, a victim of child abuse with a criminal history of theft. Next month I will become a teenage father. But I swear that I will do anything for my little girl. I will be the kind of father that I myself never had.” And I don't know how he did it, but he did it.

9. Today my 8-year-old son hugged me and said: “You are the best mom in the whole world!” I smiled and asked sarcastically: “How do you know this? You haven’t met every mother in the whole world!” My son hugged me tighter and said: “I met.” You are my world".

10. I have a difficult patient who suffers from severe Alzheimer's disease. He has difficulty remembering his name, and often forgets where he is, as well as what he said a few minutes ago.

But by some incredible miracle (perhaps this miracle is called love), he perfectly remembers his wife, who comes to him every day in the morning to spend several hours with him. When he sees her, he always says, "Hello, my beautiful Kate."

11. My 21-year-old Labrador practically doesn’t walk, doesn’t see or hear, she doesn’t even have the strength to bark. But she never forgets to wag her tail a little whenever I walk into the room.

12. Today is our 10th wedding anniversary, but just recently we both lost our jobs, so we agreed that we will not give each other gifts this year. When I woke up this morning, my husband was no longer asleep. I came out of the bedroom and saw that the whole house was decorated with wild, beautiful flowers, which he had not spent a penny on. I think there were at least 400 flowers.

13. Today my high school boyfriend, whom I no longer hoped to ever see, showed me a photo of us together, which he kept in his army cap for 8 years while he was overseas.

Good love stories

14. My 88-year-old grandmother and her old 17-year-old cat are blind. My grandmother's dog is her guide dog and walks her around the house. This is fine. However, recently she became a guide for a cat. When the cat meows, the dog gets up, approaches him and gives her a secret signal, after which he helps the cat get to his food, water and other important places.

15. Today, through the kitchen window, I saw my two-year-old baby slip and fall into the pool. Our Labrador Retriever Rex was faster than me, he jumped after her, grabbed her by the shirt, and pushed her out of the water.

16. My older brother donated bone marrow to me 16 times to help me cope with cancer. He communicated directly with my doctor, and did so without even discussing it with me. Today the doctor told me that the therapy seems to be working. The number of cancer cells has dropped dramatically over the past few months.

17. Today I was driving home with my grandfather. Suddenly he suddenly stopped the car and turned around. “I forgot to buy a bouquet of flowers for your grandmother. I’ll be quick, there’s a good florist around the corner.” “What kind of special day is today that you want to buy her flowers?” - I asked. “Every day is special. Your grandmother loves flowers, they make her smile.”

18. Today I re-read the suicide note that I wrote on September 2, 1996. Two minutes before I finished writing it, my girlfriend walked in the door and said she was expecting a baby.

Suddenly I had a meaning to life. Today she is my wife. We lived 14 happy years. And my daughter, who is soon 15 years old, has two younger brothers. I sometimes reread my suicide note as a reminder to be grateful. I'm grateful to have a second chance at life and love.

Incredible love stories

19. I spent a whole month in the hospital recovering from burns and injuries resulting from a house fire. I returned to school two months ago. Since then, for two months now, since I showed up at school with scars on my face, every morning I find a red rose in my locker.

I never found out who does this, who comes to school so early and leaves these roses for me. I even came myself several times earlier to find out the secret, but the rose was already in place.

20. Today is 10 years since my dad passed away. When I was a child, he always hummed one short melody to me before going to bed. When I was 18 years old and he was dying in a hospital bed, having failed to beat cancer, we switched places. Now I hummed to him.

I haven't heard this melody since then, until last night. My fiancé and I returned from a walk and went to bed when suddenly he began to sing it. It turns out that his mother sang this song to him when he was a child.

21. Today a woman who had her vocal cords removed due to cancer signed up for lessons with me to learn sign language. Her husband, four children, two sisters, brother, mother, father and 12 close friends signed up with her to be able to communicate with her after she lost the ability to speak.

22. My 11-year-old son speaks excellent sign language because Josh, his best friend with whom he grew up, is deaf. I see how their friendship grows and strengthens over the years.

23. My grandfather has Alzheimer's disease, which makes it difficult for him to remember his grandmother when he wakes up in the morning. When it first happened a year ago, my grandmother was very worried about it, but now she has completely accepted his condition. Moreover, every day they play a game in which she tries to do everything so that her grandfather will ask her to marry her before dinner. She has never lost.

Wonderful love stories

24. Today my dad, at the age of 92, passed away due to natural causes. I found his peaceful body lying calmly in a chair in his bedroom. On his laptop screen were three 8X10 photographs of my mother, who died 10 years ago. She was the love of his life and also the last thing he wanted to see before he died.

25. Today I am a happy mother of a blind 17-year-old boy. Even though my son was born blind, that didn't stop him from becoming a diligent student, a guitarist in a famous band (their recently released first album has already been downloaded 25,000 times), and a loving boyfriend to his girlfriend Valerie. Today his little sister asked him what he liked about Valerie and he replied, “Everything, she’s beautiful.”

26. I was waiting for an elderly couple. From the way they looked at each other, it was clear that they were in love. When my husband said they were celebrating their anniversary, I smiled and said, “Let me guess. You’ve probably been together forever.” They laughed and the wife said: “No, today we’ve been together for five years. We were both widowers, but life gave us another chance to be happy.”

27. Today my dad found my little sister alive, sitting on a chain in the barn. She was kidnapped near Mexico City 5 months ago. Police had called off the active search weeks earlier. My mom and I thought she was dead. Last month we held her funeral.

All of our friends and family members came to the ceremony except my father. Instead, he continued to look for her. He said he loved her too much to give up. She returned home only because dad didn't give up.

28. In my high school there are two guys in my senior year who are homosexuals. They were verbally abused for two years, but continued to hold each other's hands the entire time. Despite the threats, they came to the prom in identical tuxedos. They went to dance together and smiled from ear to ear, despite all the haters.

29. Today my sister and I had a car accident. My sister is very popular at school, almost everyone knows her. I'm a bit of an introvert and hang out with the same two girls all the time. Immediately after the accident, before the ambulance arrived, the sister wrote a post on Facebook about what happened.

And while all her friends were commenting on the post, my two friends kept to themselves until the ambulance arrived and confirmed that everything was fine with us.

Love stories

30. Today my fiancé returned from his last sea assignment. Just yesterday he was just my boyfriend, or so I thought. Almost a year ago he sent me a package. He told me it couldn't be opened until he got home.

He was due back in two weeks. But the business trip dragged on for another 11 months. Today, when he returned home, he asked me to open the package. When I saw the ring there, he got down on one knee and asked me to become his wife.

31. Today my 12-year-old son Sean went to the nursing home with me for the first time in months. As a rule, I myself go to visit my mother, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease. When we entered the hall, the nurse saw us and said, “Hi, Sean!” I wondered how she knew his name. “Oh, I stop by here on the way home from school to visit grandma and say hello.”

32. Today I found a small note written in my mother’s hand and dated from when she was at school. It was a list of qualities that she once wanted to find in her companion. So, this list is an accurate description of my father, whom she met at 27 years old.

33. Today in chemistry my partner was the most beautiful and most popular girl in school. I would never have dared to talk to her if not for this incident. We had a great time in the laboratory, joked, worked and solved interesting problems (yes, in addition to beauty, she also has intelligence). More recently, we started communicating outside of school as well.

Last week I found out that she doesn't have a partner to go to our school dance. Of course, I wanted to invite her, but I couldn’t overcome my fear. Today at lunch she came up to me and asked me to invite her to the ball. When I did, she kissed me on the cheek and said, “Yes!”

34. Today, on our 10th anniversary, she handed me a suicide note that she wrote at age 22 on the day we met. She said: “All these years I didn’t want you to know how stupid and unstable I was when we met. Without knowing it, you saved me. Thank you".

Touching love stories

35. On his bedside table, my grandfather keeps a photo of him and his grandmother having fun at some party in the 1960s. My grandmother died of cancer in 1999 when I was 7 years old.

This evening I went to visit my grandfather, he asked me to look carefully at this photo, walked around, hugged me from behind and said: “Remember, just because something cannot last forever, it does not mean that it's not worth your time."

36. Today I was talking to my two daughters, ages 4 and 6, and trying to explain to them why we should move from a 4 bedroom house to a 2 bedroom house until I find a good paying job.

My girls looked at each other, and then the youngest asked: “Are we going to eat everything together?” “Of course,” I said. "Then what is the problem?" - asked my baby.

37. Today on the plane I met a very beautiful woman. Thinking I would never see her again, I told her how beautiful she was. She gave me the most sincere smile and said, “No one has said those words to me in the last ten years.”

It turned out that we are both in our early 30s, we have both never been married, we neither have children, and we live 10 km from each other. We have a date next Saturday after we both get home.

38. I am the mother of two children and grandmother of 4 grandchildren. At the age of 17 I became pregnant with twins. When my boyfriend and my friends found out that I was not going to have an abortion, they turned their backs on me. But I didn’t give up, I worked in my free time, graduated from high school and college, and in class I met a guy who loved my children as his own, which he has continued to do for 50 years.

Love stories from life

39. Today, on my 29th birthday, I finally returned home from my last long business trip abroad. A little girl who lives next door to my parents (actually, as it turned out, she’s not so little anymore, she’s 22 years old now), met me at the airport with a big beautiful rose, a bottle of my favorite alcohol and invited me on a date.

40. Today my daughter accepted a marriage proposal from her boyfriend, who is three years older than her. They started dating when she was 14 and he was 17. I never liked their age difference.

He turned 18 a week after she turned 15. My husband insisted they break up. They maintained their friendship but dated other people. Today she is 24 and he is 27, and I have never seen people happier and more in love with each other.

41. Today my mother did not go to work because she was sick. On the way home from school, I went to the store to buy her some goodies and ran into my father there, in whose hands were fruits, a bouquet of flowers, 4 DVDs with romantic comedies. My dad is wonderful.

42. Today I sat on the balcony of my hotel room, watching a couple in love walking along the beach in the distance. I could tell from their body language that they were laughing and enjoying each other's company. As they approached me, I realized that these were my parents, who were on the verge of divorce 8 years ago.

43. I’m 17 years old and I’ve been dating my boyfriend Jake for three years. Yesterday we spent the first night together. We've never done "this" before, including last night. We baked cookies, watched two comedies, laughed, played video games, and fell asleep in each other's arms. Despite my parents' misgivings, he is a true gentleman and a loyal friend.

44. Today, when I tapped my wheelchair and told my husband that he was the only reason I wanted to get rid of this thing, my husband kissed me and replied, “Honey, I don’t even notice this thing.”

46. Today I met my father for the first time in six months. And the whole point is that six months ago I told him that I was gay. When I opened the door, I saw his eyes full of tears, he immediately hugged me and said: “I'm sorry Jason, I love you.”

Beautiful love stories

47. Today my little sister, who has autism, said her first word in her life - my name. The baby is 6 years old.

48. Today, at the age of 72, 15 years after my grandfather died, my grandmother remarried. I'm only 17 years old, but I've never seen her so happy in my entire life. It's very inspiring when you see people at that age who are so deeply in love. It's never too late to love.

49. Today, in one of the jazz clubs in San Francisco, I watched a couple enjoying each other's company over a glass of cocktail. The woman was a dwarf and the man was about 180 cm tall. Later they went out onto the dance floor. The man knelt down next to her and they were able to dance slowly. They danced all night.

50. Today I woke up because my daughter was calling me. I slept in a chair in her room at the hospital. I opened my eyes and saw her beautiful smile. My baby was in a coma for 98 days.

51. Today, exactly 10 years ago, I stopped at an intersection and a car crashed into me from behind. The driver was a guy my age, a student like me. He was very cordial and very apologetic. While we were waiting for the police, we laughed a lot about a variety of topics. We just celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary.

52. I work in a coffee shop. Today two gay men walked into a cafe holding hands. As you may have guessed, people began to turn their heads. A little girl was sitting at a table not far from me with her mother. She, of course, asked her mother why the two men were holding hands. To which my mother replied: “Because they love each other.”

People's love stories

53. Today, two years after breaking up, I met my ex-wife for dinner and we worked out all our difficulties. We laughed and joked for almost 4 hours. Then before she left she gave me a large envelope. It contained 20 love letters that she had written to me over the past two years. There was a small sticker on the envelope that read, “Letters I Was Too Stubborn to Send.”

54. I had an accident that left a mark on my forehead. The doctors tied a bandage around my head, in which I had to walk for a whole week. I really didn't like that I had to wear it. Two minutes later, after I expressed my dissatisfaction, my younger brother came into my room with a bandage on his head. My mom said that he really insisted that I get a bandage so that I wouldn't feel alone.

55. Today my mother died after a long battle with cancer. My best friend lives 1500 km away from me and called me to support me. Speaking on the phone, he asked: “What would you do if I showed up on your doorstep right now and hugged you tightly?” “I smiled, of course,” I replied. After these words, he rang my doorbell.

56. Today I visited my 91-year-old grandfather, a military doctor, war hero and successful businessman, in the hospital. I was interested in what he considers his greatest achievement in life, and I asked him about it. He turned, took the hand of his grandmother, who was always with him, looked into her eyes and said: “Growing old with you.”

57. Today I watched my 75 year old grandparents goofing around and laughing in the kitchen. I saw what true love is. I hope I can find her someday.

58. Today, exactly 20 years ago, I risked my life to save a woman from the harsh flow of the Colorado River. This is the story of how I met my wife, the love of my life.

59. Today, on our 50th anniversary, she smiled and said to me: “Well, why didn’t I meet you earlier? This is the only thing I need!

60. Today my blind friend told me in the most vivid detail how beautiful his new girlfriend is.

We, at the editorial office of Infoiac.ru, were very moved by these incredible stories that showed that love really exists and that you need to believe in it.

Beginning of autumn. The tops of the trees are covered with a light gilding, and lonely yellowed leaves are falling. The grass has dried up and turned yellow over the summer from the hot rays of the sun. Early morning.

Sergei Mikhailovich walked leisurely along the path of the square, heading to the tram stop. He hadn’t used public transport for a long time, he used his car to get to work, and then... he took the car to a car repair shop for a preventive inspection for three days, and this happened on weekdays.

“Today is my ex-wife’s birthday, I should congratulate him, drop by after work and bring a bouquet of chrysanthemums, she loves them very much,” he caught himself thinking that the “ex” thought about his wife, although she left him two months ago. During this time he did not see her, only heard a voice on the telephone receiver. It’s interesting to see what she looks like: has she looked younger? Or maybe she’ll come back to their spacious apartment, bake pancakes again in the morning and brew her signature coffee?

They lived for more than thirty years, or more precisely, thirty-three. And then, out of the blue, so it seemed to him, the woman he loved announced that she was going to live in another apartment, away from him... They rented out a small apartment. Previously, it was intended for the youngest son, he went to another city to study, then stayed there and got married. The eldest son had long lived with his family in a spacious cottage on the outskirts of the city, raising three children.

“I’m tired of your “whining”, tired of serving and taking care of you, listening to your dissatisfaction. At least in my old age I want to live for myself, in peace,” said the wife, collecting her things.

Having recently retired, Galina did not sit at home, started an online business, signed up for a fitness center, and began to pay more attention to her appearance and health.

“That’s it, now I’m a free person and I want to live the rest of my years for myself. I gave many years to the children, to you - to your whims, washing, cleaning and your other whims. Helped raise grandchildren. Now I have a pension, I have additional income, and I do not depend on you financially, and your prohibitions do not concern me. Wherever I want, that’s where I go on vacation; wherever I want, that’s where I go on Sunday. “I’m leaving,” the wife said loudly, slamming the door, leaving her husband perplexed.

The right tram arrived. Sergei Mikhailovich squeezed inside. Early morning, townspeople are rushing to work. He has to walk four stops to his office - a large transport company, where he has worked as a safety engineer for many years.

The pungent smell of women's perfume filled his nose.

“Man, don’t snuggle close to me,” the young woman said, turning around and looking into his eyes, she smiled sweetly.

- Sorry.

“Don’t forget to drop by Galina’s with flowers in the evening, maybe she’s already had enough of freedom and will return home.” In the morning he called her and congratulated her on her birthday. The wife listened silently and hung up.

“Man, you are stuck to me,” said the same woman.

- Sorry. There are a lot of people.

“Then I will turn to face you,” the stranger said in a pleasant voice, turned to face Sergei and began to look into his eyes.

He began to examine the young woman: she looked about thirty to thirty-five years old, had a good figure, a beige cap hid her hair, bright red plump lips attracted the eye.

“A pleasant face, and the eyes glow with happiness. The pungent smell of perfume, I could have applied less of it to myself,” thought Sergei Mikhailovich.

- My stop. “I’m going out,” he said quietly.

The woman took a step to the side, letting him pass forward:

“And I still have two more stops to go,” she said casually.

At the end of the working day, Sergei Mikhailovich called a taxi: “Go to a flower shop, buy a bouquet of flowers and visit your wife to congratulate her on her birthday,” thought the abandoned husband.

Here he is already standing near the front door of the apartment with a bouquet of large yellow chrysanthemums.

Doorbell.

The man entered quietly. Silence.

- Well, who is there? Go into the room. I'm here.

Sergei entered. There was a large open suitcase in the middle of the room. Galina, dressed in a new tracksuit, was fussing around him, putting things away.

- Good evening! Here, I came to congratulate you.

- Well, you called in the morning? – the wife said without looking back at him. - There was no need to worry. And how did you remember this? When we lived together, I rarely remembered, I kept waiting for my reminder. Oh, yellow chrysanthemums? Have you forgotten that I love them? – Looking at the bouquet, the woman was surprised.

- Where are you going? Where are the guests? Not celebrating your birthday?

- Tomorrow we will celebrate. I'm flying to Montenegro for a month. I'll live in Europe. They're waiting for me there. I have a plane soon.

-Where are you going? What about me, my children, my grandchildren?

- And you? The children are adults, the grandchildren have parents. The children congratulated me on the phone; they know that I am leaving for a month.

“I thought you would come home.” I thought you were bored...

“I said that I would never live with you under any circumstances.” Enough - I was your servant for thirty years and carried out all your orders. Place flowers in a vase. Why are you standing? Go to the kitchen yourself, pour water into a vase and set it down. I’m used to having a nanny look after you... How’s the apartment? There’s probably dirt all around, you’re not fit for anything - in order to drive a nail into a wall or repair a faucet, I had to “saw” you for several days, and then do it myself.

-What orders are you saying? We lived happily in love for many years. Come back, I love you and miss you. The apartment is empty without you.

- But not me. I’m free now, you don’t need to be a servant in the morning, cook food the way you love, invite guests – those you like... Now I run in the park in the mornings and play sports. And everything was just to be your way; my opinion was rarely taken into account.

– I invited the concierge, she comes once a week and cleans the apartment.

- Do you love it? You’re just used to me, and you don’t have enough of a maid... Live as you want. I'm very happy without you.

-Have you got a man? – he asked quietly.

– Why are you needed... whiners and dictators. Nowadays, you men are worse than one-year-old children: capricious, picky and always dissatisfied with everything. I am happy that I can do what I want, no one tells me, no one tyrannies or asks - why did you buy this gold ring, you already have a lot of them?! You don’t have to report to anyone about your expenses and pastime. So love left, about ten years ago. And I was a fool for putting up with you and your selfishness for so many years. Now I just realized how good I am without you!

Help me lower my suitcase, the taxi has arrived.

Second story

Summer. An electric train traveling from a multimillion-dollar city along a given route.

In the half-empty carriage of the electric train, the cheerful laughter of a group of middle-aged women could be heard. Tipsy pensioners talked loudly, joked and laughed, attracting the attention of incoming passengers.

Stop. Several passengers entered the carriage. They immediately noticed the cheerful and noisy company.

- Oh, Lyuska, is that you? – asked one of the women who entered the carriage. “I haven’t seen you for a hundred years.”

- Hello, Lenka. Yes it's me. That's right, we haven't seen each other for fifteen years. We haven’t changed, we’re still just as young and cheerful. “Have a seat with our company,” answered the most cheerful woman from the company.

-What are you celebrating? Everyone is cheerful and happy. Lena, introduce your friends or neighbors?

– These are my friends, we are going to my dacha. There we will continue the holiday and reap the harvest. Lida, Ira, Sonya.

- What's the celebration? – Elena asked again.

Real life love stories that will not only make you think, but will warm your heart and even make you smile.

Today my 75-year-old grandfather, who has been blind for 15 years due to cataracts, told me: “Your grandmother is the most beautiful woman on earth, isn’t she?” I thought for a second and said: “Yes, she is exactly like that. You probably really miss this beauty, now that you don’t see it.” “Darling,” my grandfather answered me. - I see her every day. To be honest, I see her much more clearly now than when we were young.”
Today I married my daughter. Ten years ago, I rescued a 14-year-old boy from a minivan that was engulfed in flames after a serious accident. The doctors' verdict was clear - he would never be able to walk. My daughter visited him several times with me in the hospital. Then she started going there without me. And today I saw how, contrary to all predictions and smiling widely, he put the ring on my daughter’s finger - standing firmly on both feet.
Today, as I approached the door of my store at 7 o’clock in the morning (I’m a florist), I saw a soldier in uniform waiting outside. As it turned out, he was on his way to the airport, from where he was supposed to fly to Afghanistan for the whole year. He said: "I usually bring my wife a beautiful bouquet of flowers every Friday and I don't want to let her down just because I'll be away from her." After these words, he ordered 52 bouquets of flowers from me and asked me to deliver them every Friday evening to his wife’s office until he returned. I gave him a 50% discount on everything - such love filled my whole day with light.
Today I told my 18-year-old grandson that in all my school years I never went to the school prom because no one ever invited me there. And imagine - this evening, dressed in a tuxedo, he rang my doorbell and invited me to the school ball as his partner.
When she woke up from her 18 month coma today, she kissed me and said, “Thank you for staying with me, for telling me these beautiful stories, and for always believing in me... And yes, I will marry you.”
Today, while passing through the park, I decided to have a snack on a bench. And as soon as I unwrapped my sandwich, the car of an elderly couple stopped under an oak tree nearby. They rolled down the windows and turned on jazz music on the record player. Then the man got out of the car, opened the door and offered his hand to the woman, and after that they slowly danced under that same oak tree for half an hour.
Today I performed surgery on a little girl. She needed blood of the first group. We didn't have her, but her twin brother also had the first group. I explained to him that this was a matter of life and death. He thought for a moment, and then said goodbye to his parents and offered his hand. I didn’t understand why he did this until after we took his blood, he asked, “When will I die?” He thought he was really sacrificing his life for his sister. Luckily, they will both be okay now.
Today, my father has become the best father I could ever dream of. He's my mom's loving husband (and always makes her laugh), he's come to every soccer match I've been to since I was five (I'm 17 now), and he provides for our entire family as a construction worker. This morning, when I was looking through my dad's toolbox for pliers, I found a dirty piece of paper folded at the bottom. It turned out to be a page torn from my father's old diary, and it bore the date a month before I was born. It read: “I am nineteen years old, an alcoholic, a college dropout, an unsuccessful suicide, a victim of childhood abuse and a former car thief. And next month a “young father” will be added to all this. But I swear, I will do everything to make sure everything is fine for my baby. I will become for her the kind of father that I myself have never had.” And... I don’t know how, but he succeeded.
Today my 8 year old son hugged me and said, “You are the best mom in the whole world.” I smiled and asked him: “How do you know this? You haven’t seen all the mothers of the whole world.” My son, in response to this, hugged me even tighter and said: “And you are my world.”
Today I saw an elderly patient with Alzheimer's disease. He barely remembers his own name and often forgets where he is or what he said just a few minutes ago. But by some miracle (and I think this miracle is called love), every time his wife comes to visit him for a few minutes, he remembers who she is and greets her with “Hello, my beautiful Kate.”
My 21 year old Labrador can barely stand up, can't see or hear much, and doesn't even have the energy to bark. But still, when I enter the room, she happily wags her tail.
Today is the 10th anniversary of our marriage. My husband and I were recently laid off from our jobs, and so we agreed not to spend money on gifts for each other. When I woke up this morning, my husband was already up. I walked downstairs and saw that our entire house was lovingly decorated with beautiful wild flowers. I counted more than 400 of them - and he really didn't spend a cent on them.
Today I met up with a guy I dated in high school and whom I never expected to meet again. He showed me a photo of the two of us, which he kept in the lining of his helmet for those 8 years while he served in the army far from me.
Both my 88-year-old grandmother and her 17-year-old cat have long since gone blind. Grandma got herself a guide dog to help her move around the house, which is generally normal. But lately he has started leading the cat around the house too! When she meows, he comes over and rubs against her, then leads her to her bowl, sandbox, or wherever she sleeps.
Today I was horrified to see through the kitchen window as my 2-year-old daughter slipped and fell into our pool. But before I could reach her, our retriever Rex jumped after her and pulled her by the collar of her shirt to where it was shallow and she was able to stand up.
My older brother has already donated bone marrow to me 15 times to help me fight cancer. He talks directly to my doctor about it and I don't even know when he does it. And today the doctor told me that it seems that the treatment is starting to help. "We're seeing sustained remission," he said.
Today I was driving home with my grandfather when he suddenly turned around and said, “I forgot to buy flowers for your grandmother. Now let's go to the corner store and I'll buy her a bouquet. I quickly". “Is today some special day?” I asked him. “No, I don’t think so,” my grandfather answered. “Every day is special in some way. And your grandmother loves flowers. They make her smile."
Today I was rereading the suicide note I wrote on September 2, 1996, two minutes before my girlfriend knocked on my door and said, “I'm pregnant.” Suddenly I felt that I wanted to live again. Today she is my beloved wife. And my daughter, who is already 15 years old, has two younger brothers. From time to time I reread my suicide note to remind myself how grateful I am to have a second chance to live and love.
Today, like every day since I returned from the hospital two months ago with burn scars on my face (I spent almost a month there after the fire that burned down our house), I found a red note taped to it on my locker. rose. I still don’t know what it takes to come to school early every day and leave me these roses. I even tried a couple of times to come early myself and catch this man - but every time I found the rose already there.
Today 10 years have passed since my father's death. When I was little, he often hummed a short tune to me when I went to bed. When I was 18 and he was lying in a hospital room, fighting cancer, I was already humming that same melody to him. I have never heard it since then, until today in bed with my fiancé we looked at each other and he started humming it to himself. It turned out that his mother also sang it to him as a child.
Today, a woman who lost her vocal cords due to cancer enrolled in my sign language class. Her husband, four children, two sisters, brother, mother, father, and fourteen of her best friends signed up with me to be able to communicate with her even though she had lost her voice.
My 11-year-old son speaks ASL fluently because his friend Josh, with whom he grew up since infancy, is deaf. It makes me so happy to see their friendship blossom every year.
Due to Alzheimer's disease and senile dementia, my grandfather no longer always recognizes his wife in the morning. A year ago, when it first started, she was very worried about it, but now she understands what is happening to him and helps him as much as she can. She even plays with him every morning, trying to get him to propose to her again before breakfast. And every time she succeeds.
Today my father died of natural causes at the age of 92. I found his body in a chair in his room. On his hip lay three framed 8 x 10 photographs - these were photographs of my mother who died 10 years ago. She was the love of his life, and most likely, feeling his death approaching, he wanted to see her again.
I am the proud mother of a 17 year old blind boy. Although my son was born blind, this did not stop him from becoming an excellent student, an excellent guitarist (the first album of his band has already exceeded 25,000 downloads online) and a great guy for his girlfriend Valerie. Today his little sister asked him what attracted him to Valerie and he replied, “Everything. She's beautiful."
Today I served an elderly couple in a restaurant. The way they looked at each other... it was immediately clear that they loved each other. My husband mentioned that they were celebrating their anniversary today. I smiled and said: “Let me guess. You have been together for many decades.” They laughed and the wife said, “Actually, no. Today is our fifth anniversary. We both outlived our other halves, but fate gave us another chance to love and be loved.”
Today my father found my sister chained to the barn wall. She was kidnapped near Mexico City almost 5 months ago. A week later, police called off the active search. Mom and I came to terms with the loss and arranged a funeral. Our family and her friends came to them - everyone except my father. All this time he, without ceasing, searched for her. He said he loved her too much to give up. And now she’s home again because he didn’t let them go then.
There are two high school boys at my school who are openly in love with each other. In the last two years, they had to endure a lot of insults, but they continued to walk hand in hand. And, despite threats and frequent break-ins of their school lockers, they came to the school prom today in identical suits. And they danced together, smiling from ear to ear, in spite of all the envious people.
Today my sister and I were in a car accident. At school, my sister is Miss Popularity herself. She knows everyone, and everyone knows her. Well, I’m a bit of an introvert - I always talk to the same 2 girls. My sister immediately posted on Facebook about the accident. And while all her friends left comments and expressed sympathy, two of my friends showed up at the scene of the accident even before the ambulance arrived there.
Today my fiancé returned from an overseas military assignment. But just yesterday he was just my boyfriend... well, that is, that’s what I thought. Almost a year ago, he sent me a package that he asked not to open until he returned home in two weeks - but then his business trip was extended by almost 11 months. Today, when he finally returned home, he asked me to open that same package, and when I found a beautiful ring inside, he knelt in front of me and proposed to me.
Today, for the first time in months, my 12-year-old son Sean and I stopped by the nursing home on our way home. I usually go there alone to visit my mother, who has Alzheimer's disease. As we walked into the hallway, the nurse said, “Hi, Sean,” and let us inside. I asked my son: “How does she know your name?” “Oh, yes, I often pop in here after school to visit my grandmother,” he answered. And I had no idea about it.
Today I found in our papers my mother’s old diary, which she kept in high school. It contained a list of qualities she hoped to someday find in her boyfriend. This list is an almost exact description of my father, but my mother only met him when she was 27.
Today at school I was doing a chemistry experiment with one of the most beautiful (and popular) girls in the whole school. And although I had never worked up the courage to even talk to her before, she turned out to be very kind and sweet. We spent time in the laboratory talking, joking, and in the end we still got straight A's (yes, she turned out to be smart too). After that, little by little we started communicating. Last week, when I found out that she had not yet chosen who to go to the school prom with, I wanted to ask her if she would go there with me, but again I didn’t have the courage. And today, when I was sitting in the school cafe, she herself came up to me and asked if I would like to go there with her. I agreed, and she kissed me on the cheek and whispered: “Yes”!
Today, on our 10th anniversary, my wife gave me a suicide note that she wrote when she was 22, the very day we met. And she said: “All these years I really didn’t want you to know how stupid and impulsive I was then. But even though you didn’t know it before... you saved me. Thank you for everything".
My grandfather always kept on his nightstand an old, faded photograph from the 60s of him and my grandmother laughing happily at a party. My grandmother died of cancer when I was 7 years old. Today I looked into his house and my grandfather saw me looking at this photograph. He came up to me, hugged me and said: “Remember, just because nothing lasts forever doesn’t mean it’s not worth it.”
Today I tried to explain to my two daughters, ages 4 and 6, that we would have to move from our four-bedroom house to an apartment with just two until I found a new well-paying job. The daughters looked at each other for a moment, and then the youngest asked: “Are we all going to move there together?” “Yes,” I replied. “Well, it's all right then,” she said.
Today on the plane I met the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Realizing that after landing we might not see each other again, I told her how beautiful she was. She smiled charmingly at me and said: “No one has said that to me for 10 years.” It turned out that we were both in our early thirties, unmarried, neither had children, and lived literally 5 miles from each other. And next Sunday, after we get home, we have a date.
I am the mother of 2 children and grandmother of 4 grandchildren. At the age of 17 I became pregnant with twins. When my boyfriend and friends found out that I was not going to have an abortion, they all turned their backs on me. But I didn’t give up, didn’t drop out of school, got a job, graduated from college, and there I met a guy who has loved my children like his own for 50 years.
Today, on my 29th birthday, I returned home from my 4th and final military deployment to distant lands. The little girl who lives next door to my parents (who, to be honest, is not little anymore - she's 22) met me at the airport with a beautiful long rose, a bottle of my favorite vodka, and then asked me out on a date.
Today my daughter agreed to marry her boyfriend. He is 3 years older than her. They started dating when she was 14 and he was 17. I really didn’t like this age difference then. When he turned 18 a week before she turned 15, my husband insisted they end the relationship. They remained friends, but dated other people. But now that she's 24 and he's 27... I've never seen a couple so in love with each other.
When I found out today that my mother came down with the flu, I stopped at the supermarket to buy her some ready-made soup. I ran into my father there, whose cart contained 5 cans of soup, nasal spray, tissues, tampons, 4 DVDs of romantic comedies and a bouquet of flowers. It made me stop and really think about everything.
Today I was sitting on the hotel balcony and saw a couple in love walking along the beach. It was clear from the way they moved that they were crazy about each other. When they came closer, I was surprised to see that they were my parents. No one would say that 8 years ago they almost got divorced.
I'm only 17, but my boyfriend, Jake, and I have been dating for 3 years. Yesterday we spent the first night together. No, we didn’t do “this” either before or this night. Instead, we baked cookies, watched two comedies, laughed, played Xbox, and fell asleep holding each other. Despite my parents' concerns, he turned out to be a true gentleman and the best guy.
Today, when I tapped my wheelchair and told my husband, “You know, you are the only reason I would like to be free of this squalor,” he kissed my forehead and replied, “Honey, I don’t even notice him.”
Today my grandparents, who were already over ninety and who had lived together for 72 years, both died in their sleep, not having lived without each other for an hour.
Today my father came to my house for the first time in six months since I told him that I was gay. When I opened the doors, he hugged me with tears in his eyes and said, “I'm sorry, Jason. I love you".
Today my 6 year old autistic sister said her first word - my name.
Today, 15 years after my grandfather's death, my 72-year-old grandmother is getting married again. I am 17 years old, and in my entire life I have never seen her so happy. How nice it was to see two people so in love with each other, despite their age. And now I know it's never too late.
Today in a jazz club in San Francisco I saw two people madly passionate about each other. The woman was a dwarf, and the man was two meters tall. After a few cocktails they went out onto the dance floor. To slow dance with her, the man knelt down - and they danced all night.
This morning I was woken up by my daughter calling my name. I was sleeping in a chair in her hospital room, and when I opened my eyes, I saw her beautiful smile. She was in a coma for 98 days.
On this day almost exactly 10 years ago, I stopped at an intersection and another car rear-ended me. Her driver was a University of Florida student - like me. He looked very guilty and constantly apologized. While we were waiting for the police and the tow truck, we started talking and soon we were laughing uncontrollably at each other’s jokes. As a result, we exchanged numbers, and the rest, as they say, is history. We recently celebrated our 8th anniversary.
Today, when I was working in a cafe, two gay men walked in holding hands. As one might expect, a fair portion of the visitors began to openly stare at them. And then a little girl sitting at a table not far from me asked her mother why these two men were holding hands. Mom replied: “Because they love each other.”
Today, after 2 years of living apart, my ex-wife and I finally settled our differences and decided to meet for dinner. We chatted and laughed for 4 hours on end. And before leaving, she gave me a large, plump envelope. It contained 20 love messages that she wrote over these two years. The envelope was signed “Letters I Didn’t Send Because I Was Stubborn.”
Today I had an accident that left a deep abrasion on my forehead. The doctor wrapped a bandage around my head and told me not to take it off for a week - although I didn’t like it at all. Two minutes ago, my little brother came into my room - and his head was also wrapped in a bandage! Mom said he didn't want me to feel unhappy.
Today, after a long illness, my mother died of cancer. My best friend, who lives 2000 miles away from me, called on the phone to at least somehow console me. “What would you do if I showed up at your house now and hugged you tightly?” - he asked me. “Well, I would definitely smile,” I answered. And then he rang my doorbell.
Today, as my 91-year-old grandfather (military doctor, medal bearer and successful businessman) lay in his hospital bed, I asked him what he considered his greatest achievement. He turned to my grandmother, took her hand and said: “That I grew old with her.”
When I saw my 75-year-old grandparents today acting like 14-year-olds in love and laughing at each other's stupid jokes, I realized that I had caught a brief glimpse of what true love is. I hope someday I will be able to find her.
On this day exactly 20 years ago, I risked my life to save a woman who was being swept away by the fast current of the Colorado River. That's how I met my wife - the love of my life.
Today, on our 50th wedding anniversary, she smiled at me and said, “I wish I had met you sooner.”
Today my blind friend told me at length and colorfully how beautiful his new girlfriend is.
