he search 50 years for her.
make a damn movie of this!!!!!!!
Syaf Asmo I would love to watch a movie based on this. 😍
he didn’t search 50 years for her lol
While watching the whole time I was thinking that too♥️ They should make a movie✨😭
@@givento1 what tf are you talking about
There is actually a movie called Letters to Juliet that reminds me of this story
Is it just me or did people in the 1950s had flawless portraits 😭
If it was like that now but in color, that would be awesome.
Thats coz they did not take pictures every 2 seconds ....they valued those picture days coz they were rare and made sure it was special ..but today everyone is taking pictures every other second until it has come to a place where it's not special anymore ...even relationships and marriage today are been devalued coz everyone is sleeping around with everyone or shacking up before marriage ..by the time they go to get married ..it has no value coz u have been with everyone under the sun and that first kiss u and your mate have is no longer a special kiss ..just another kiss ...just look at that dating show the one with one woman or one man chosing from a bunch of potentials ..what do they do to test the waters ??..they kiss everyone they are interviewing and do sexual stuff with all of them ..and by the time they pick the one they want ..it's not special anymore ...just another bloke or girl that they fooled around with ...what I am trying to say is that when we decided to throw the way God intended things to be ..that's the day we stopped caring about the special things in life ..anyways that's your comment to your comment lol
Professionally taken, that's all.
Annie Ruiz yess
B&w does that
The daughter looks like her father. This is such a wonderful story which proves parents are not always right.
Yup
Tell that to this girl's father who was definitely right.

She has the same emotional temperament as him. You can trace it back to him even in this short video
This couple were Cowards not to run off to be together as teenagers.
I'm not sure if I'd be happy to see parents who took 50 years to find me.
Now they're just trying to Validate their Innate Cowardly Personalities.
@@JosephKulik2016 i agree with you, all-knowing one.
By looking at the man's eyes you can see how much he loves her . He gets emotional everytime he recalls his story . True love really exists 😩😩
They got married 3 days after they reunited.....I loved this story 😭
OKK!!! A man that knows what he wants!!
I LOL'd at that part.
Samantha Healey No they got married the next day after they had a good night together
It was 24 hours not 3 days....
Of course he did he had 50 years to think it over! 😂😂😂😂
I’m so sad for them....they could’ve been a family 50 years ago
Looks By Naheemah seriously.
so heart breaking!! I’m glad they ended up all together.
I dislike when parents always think they know what is best.
@@HunniRoze i agree
Better late than never
I was adopted and tried finding my parents unfortunately by the time I located them they were both deceased. This is a truly beautiful heartwarming story.
Sorry for that it’s painful
So sorry to hear that. The Lord give you peace that surpasses all understanding
Can I ask how you managed to find information to find them? Looking to do so myself
@@simpgodd4646 do you know the date of your adoption and the state where your adoption took place? If you have this information you can contact the Department of Children and Families in that state. That was where I started and since I was 17y/o I included a letter from my adoptive mother giving me permission to receive the information. The state will send you general ( not identifying) information but it could include some health information that could be helpful. If you are fortunate enough to know your birth parents names- can be found out from foster parents or sometimes adoption agency. It all depends on if your adoption was sealed. I hope this is helpful to give you a starting place. Also you could do a DNA test ( Ancestry or 23 and me, I would recommend Ancestry). Best of luck to you.
@@karolynbenjamin thanks so much I know the names but I’ll give the department a call and see what I can find
What blew me away was that their daughter looked exactly like her father. No doubt about that!!!! What a story, brought me to tears.
You know the love is real when you can be separated for 50 yrs with no communication and tear up just thinking/talking about her
It’s good to know such love exists
@@Pri-ze7fv its all I want
Isn't it just this that we're all looking for in the end? So beautiful!
Also there was no social media to cheat with many partners. In todays world that was a good thing.
That's true love...
I met my husband when I was 9 and he 11 in 1966. I was the cooks daughter and he was the boss's son. I even moved overseas with my mother for two years when I was 11 and we wrote to each other. Everyone thought it was innocent until we got to about 15 and 17 and they realised we were so attached to each other. All kinds of hurdles were thrown at us and requirements. We stuck with it and got married at 19 and 21 and have been together ever since and had 4 kids and now 6 grandchildren. We are about to celebrate our 46th wedding anniversary.
❤️
Lovely, true love always wins.
Love this story
Lovely 😍 👌 👍 🥰
Congratulations! ❤️🥺🤗
Mrs. Karen literally just made “I cooked him dinner then put this good good on him” sound so damn classy and bourgeois talking about “I cooked him dinner and then we talked and stayed up until the wee hours of the morning rekindling our romance” 😭😭😭 I ain’t mad at you Mrs. Karen!!!
I'm screaming 😂😂
The way to a man’s heart alright… 😂😂😂
@@Radianty_Ella except, she already there.. have never moved anywhere else even after half a decade... :')
Hell YEAH! To be that age & somebody cute looking at you with that "I gotta have some" face? Priceless.
Bahahaha yessss lol.
This story is amazing on so many levels. The daughter looks just like her dad, I cried a little. Amazing .
I cried too..so touching and beautiful 💕. So happy that they all found each other.
@@Gypsy1194 😍😍
True love story ❤️
Who else is mad at the parents for making them separate and put the baby for adoption?
They destroyed a family. They wanted what was best for the kids, I guess. It was a common solution back then.
I am!
Everything happens for a reason...u can't be mad...
That’s true atleast there’s a happy ending
I'm not mad a lot of destruction could have happened to them
Boy, I don't think they make many men like this guy anymore.
DAL Eight For sure they don't that was men way back in the day not👎🏻men today with men today God Help US 😩😭
DAL Eight id hope they dont make men like this, leaving their kids behind 👋🏼
Kristina X it's not like they could do much. If your parent said no back then they meant no. There is no "I'm running away" or "Keep me out idc!!". Your parents would make sure you stayed home or all of you would move.
Say anything to the authorities and they take the parent's side. There was no center for children that ran away or a shelter.
DAL Eight and I’m sure ladies were always the same saints 50 years ago.
I’ve seen men 60+ change and become more emotional. I think it’s like menopause. If that’s true, it’ll keep happening.
I met my husband when I was 16 and he was 17 I can not imagine the pain I would have felt if we had been kept apart. We've been together 21 years and I love him more now than I did then.
Can their love story please be made in to a book, a movie, cuz we all need to know how they were able to continue their lives with out each other and how life has been since they reunited.💙
They coauthored a book: “How did you find me after all these years?”. They own a gift shop in my town. :)
@@karencasey3639 which shop? Is it in St. Paul? I'm near Highland Park.
@@karencasey3639 Does the book go into details about their life in those years or just the search? I would be interested in knowing of other relationships/children if there were any.
With similar vibes to Forest Gump or The Notebook (with the time jumps in each, too) I can see this being a really good movie.
The daughter looks so much like the dad in his younger photos
Ellie Lillian dady’s lil girl
Sure does.
Yeah but she has her mothers nose.
No stfu
I agree
This is why I truly believe in the saying “if it’s meant to be. It’ll be.”
Well also he put in a lot of effort to find her, it's not like they just ran into each other on the street.
monkiram yes but both those women didn’t have to agree to see him. The effort is worthless if they hadn’t wanted to see him
@@bruhkent6895 Yes of course, but my point is, you can't just say "if it's meant to be it'll be" and then sit around waiting for your life to happen. I feel like that's a thing people commonly say when they scared to put effort into something. I bet that most people in his position would have given up long before he did (including myself), it's a testament to his perseverance that they're together now
Baby just let it be
True. Hopefully, we won't all be 53 when it happens though. 😂😂
Wow, Karen is just beautiful! She still looks so much like her graduation photo! Their love story and life stories are just incredible. I'm speechless at their love and so grateful for their reunion with each other and their lovely daughter.
Now that's true love! And the fact they made the effort to find the daughter they'd given up for adoption is fantastic. Very sweet story. ❤️
Who else got so wrapped up in the story they forgot it was the Steve show.😂
I was
Justice For all 💀😩😩
me as well
ditto!
I left soon after that
Their parents robbed them of 50 years of marriage and happiness
Indeed. It's an epidemic, even today.
Cruel. True love was treated cruelly 😰
Same happened to me I was 16 my boyfriend was 19- we were together until I was 18 my parents and his parents felt we were to young and made us go our separate ways ...I married and had a child...he never did ...I wound up getting divorced and guess who found me 25 years later... we’ve now been married for 4 years and it feels like I got my best friend back
@@jenniferjackson9375 wow.. congratulation! 😍 i'm so happy for you! May you guys live happily ever after 💙 True love does exist
Helen Simon thankyou 😘
their love for each other is still visible in their eyes and the way they tell stories. OMG i love their story.
They are the definition of Soul Mates.. that is true love!
I’m so happy they found each other again
Soulmates. Time can not erase some things.
Kim’s Life facts
It’s funny because a lot of women wait or chase the man, but when a man truly chases the women down is when you know there will be true love. Don’t judge me it’s Just my Theory. I love this story.
Yeah like the fact that they gave away their daughter to continue on with their separate lives! 🤦🏽♂️
Definitely. Love is love. Que viva el amor💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
@@LethalMaster they were teenagers in the '50s, had no choice
That is dope. "You're single, I'm single...Where do I fly into to?" He a G.
Edward Greene your fine😏
mochashakira u guys should get together, if both of u are single 😊
+Ashenafi Tafere Good lookin out but I'm married.
Edward Greene I LOVE THIS RESPONSE 🎉
Edward Greene 😊👏👏
I have a friend whose birth parents’ story is very similar.When she was in her mid-forties she located them separately. They reconnected with each after that. They had both divorced, and they ended up getting married! Like this couple they had been deeply in love but the girl’s parents didn’t think the boy was suitable and forced them apart.
“ you made it home baby “ was so cutee
“we stayed up until the wee hours of the night rekindling our romance” OKAY KAREN I SEE YOU SIS🤠🙈💀
Rurdes I don’t think anyone needed to know that but okay.. 🤦🏻♀️
@Rurdes lol
😹😹😹 KAREN MUSF HAVE SOME FIRE PUNANNY THAT MAN NEVER FORGOT HER LOL HE KEEPS CRYING SHE HASNT CRIED ONCE
@@brittsworldofasmrbeauty2772 Not so much that. There is a love of the spirit. That never dies.
@KSI IS FAT Those old men have been around the block a few times. They know what to do. 😂😂
This is literally notebook but better 💖😩
Devanshi G haha yah but virtual
Devanshi G super Facts that’s my favorite movie and the Time travelers wife😩
In 5D
Devanshi G I was thinking the same thing!!!
Literally the only thing this story has in common with the notebook is the fact that there's a break in their relationships. Every other aspect of the storyline from the notebook has nothing to do with this couple.
A heartwarming love story, and the icing on the top was being reunited w/ their daughter. God is so good 🥰
Splitting them and their daughter apart was criminal.
He is a gentleman. He did not abandon her or the child and he did not stop loving her. Wow.
Nor did she.
@@triciajohansen7124 that is why gentlewomen exist
But he did abandoned her and the child
Please dont nelieve this, am sure they had other pple in their lives
@@Greeeyt then why are they only giving credit to the man....
It sure was an unfinished love story. They separated not because they don't love each other anymore but because their parents wanted them to. Love was never gone.
Nice u ,
And they had growing up to do
I’m so sad at how much they missed
It’s so awful that they had to live most of their lives apart.... it’s really tragic... but I’m so glad they’re reunited 💚💚💚
This made me cry. One because they found each other and two because people need to freaking stop thinking they know what's best for other people, even their kids. They didn't have to be separated for that freaking long.
“I picked him up on Monday and we were married on Thursday.” So amazing.
Their love never ended....no more wasting time. Life is too short!
When you grow up together, you know the person down deep.
Only tears!! 😭 But they are happy tears!! So happy for them❤️
@@christinesbetterknitting4533 deep... But they fell apart right as they grew up
the daughter looks so much like her dad
'Bout to say that.
@angelina angel And the joy emanated was of such a youthful, child spirit. How precious! 🤭💖
I am wondering if any of the 3 of you pray, and if so did you pray on finding one another? Forgive me if that question is too personal, it's just that I have been more and more curious about the power of prayer in other people's lives. Whether you do me or you don't, something brought the 3 of you back together and whatever it was it was something powerful; your love for one another? Never take one another for granted, that's for sure. You have a beautiful family and many more years to enjoy each other. I implore you to do so. Take care of one another, love one another, respect one another, and laugh. Laugh a lot. And don't just smile with your mouth, smile with your hearts. You guys are awesome
Yes she does!
@FBI Breaker At 2: 22.
The most beautiful TWIN FLAME STORY 💞💞
I found an extended family member at the age of 68. I was so grateful to be received with open arms. He will never know how much this meant to me.
I would love a man to tear up every time he thinks about how much he loves me. That is beautiful. I’m so glad they found each other and their baby girl again. ❤️😊
Aww this comment touched me i want to cry
Yes that's amazing
Caro H tear up what tho?
That would not be a man
Yea then you wont want him. Interesting how that works.
This man is an absolute sweetheart. He has so much love in his eyes it’s beautiful.
Pink Giraffe yes, his tears and the way he speaks of her really shows how beautiful his love is 💕
more than she has... are we, women harder? or is that the practical sense?
This gives me goose pimples....what a beautiful story....what a beautiful family. Bless them...so happy for them.
Mashalla
OMG the love he has for her is just heartwarming. ❤❤❤
Their daughter has such a nice youthful voice
Can this be a movie please
It is, it's called the notebook lol
Yeah the notebook but 55 years later lol
There is a book that I read as a teen titled "somebody's baby" that could have been written about this story!! Here is a piece of the synopsis:
"by the end of Jenny's senior year in high school, she was pregnant. When they made a plan to run away, Jenny waited at the spot where Will was to pick her up, but he never showed.
What follows is the story of true love that spans three decades -- between man and woman, parent and child. Jenny is forced to give up her baby for adoption, and when that child, Claudia, becomes a parent herself, she begins a search for her biological parents at the risk of destroying the love of the adoptive parents who have raised her. Claudia finds more than she imagined, as she uncovers years of lies and betrayal, sacrifice and silence, and the extraordinary love of Will and Jenny, whose faith and passion survive it all." written by Elaine Kagan.
It is a movie called Our Son The Matchmaker
its called The Notebook (-ish) 😂😭
My husband and I met in high school in 2005 when I was 15 and he 16. We had truly fell head over heels for one another, it wasn’t just high school love, it was something that let us both know that we had met our true person. It was as if we have known each for centuries, I know that may sound a little out there but that’s how it felt.
but life sometimes throws us curve balls and after 3 yrs of being together we broke up...I had gotten pregnant And then later suffered a miscarriage. Losing a child for those who have been through that is one of the most devastating things any woman can go through. It was as if your own body betrayed you and you feel this horrible guilt. I felt like a part of my soul was lost and I changed, I became withdrawn and so did he. We were only 18 and 19 when it happened and we had a whole mix of feelings. On the one hand we were too young to be parents but we had accepted we were going to be and when that was no longer a option, we lost that spark that held us together, we then decided to go our separate ways, it was just something we had to do, we had to heal and we had to do that apart. I knew I loved Chris and that he would always be someone I cared for but at the time we knew it was the right choice. We were too young to go through those sort of life circumstances.
7 years went by and I began to get curious about where he had gone, I tried Facebook, Instagram, you name it and I couldn’t find him. For years after we broke up I kept feeling that something was missing in my life. Up to that point I had went to college graduated, i had great friends, a job that I loved and a great family but I knew that what I was missing was having or at least knowing whatever happened to Chris.
So I grew some lady balls and wrote a letter and sent it to the house he lived in when we were in high school but... I never got a response back...I was sad but I just told myself he is probably happy in his life and doesn’t feel the need to look back or that his family wasn’t living there any longer. So I just went on with my life but then a whole year later out of nowhere, with no warning he shows up at my parents front door, he too had been looking for me but to no avail.
He told me that His mother had received the letter but never gave it to him, it wasn’t after a year that she felt guilty and confessed to him that a letter had shown up addressed to him from me. He was pissed as you can imagine but he put all those feelings aside and He came looking for me the very next day after his mother confessed about the letter.
When he got to me he admitted that after 7 yrs he too hadn’t fell out of love with me. We married 8mths later in August of 2016 and after two blissful years of marriage we are expecting our first son.
These things do happen, and I’m a testament to that. So for those who had once loved and lost, I can tell you that if it’s real TRUE love then no amount of time or distance can pull you both apart.
Oh wow that is so lovely....I like happy endings 😊
What a beautiful story. Congratulations also xx
Amazing story! Blessings to you and to your family!
Amazing!! Totally Filmy! Yet, so endearing!!
Lulu R ❤️❤️❤️
Kudos to two wonderful people that reconnected, found their daughter and will actually live happily ever-after. I never married and never will but I can respect and admire people that have such a strong, undeniable love.
wow, I can't believe because of their parents, they were seperated apart and turnd out to be soulmates. Sometimes you shouldn't always make the decisions for your child and let them experience their own love story ;)
Believe it. Many parents stomp on their children's dreams
@@FC-hj9ub Then there are those like my sister. My parents, and his parents tried to warn her about how her life would be if she married him. But, she wouldn't listen. They ran off to another state to get married. Even before they were married he had been cheating on her. And later on verbal and physical abuse all the years they were married. Finally 30 years later he wanted out so he could marry a younger woman. Sometimes the parents are right.
Remember this when you see older people. They too were once young, and everyone has a story.
1rewd1 Exactly what I'd like to tell young people. Gosh, I was young and cute too at one time. It goes very fast after thirty, then forty, then fifty, then sixty. Amazing fast.
I love hearing older people's stories - mind, I'm getting to an age where elderly people are my peers lol!
As someone who used to be a Care Assistant I agree, they have so many wonderful stories to tell I used to love sitting with them listening to them talk. We had one lady who sadly had Dementia (they all had something that required them to need care but they were all amazing people) she used to talk about her childhood, she would repeat the same story every time about a tree she had in her garden & she would ask you to guess what kind of tree it was. I loved talking to her about it & trying to guess the answer even though I knew what it was, I remember one night I said the correct tree & she was so surprised that I got it right she started giggling like a young girl when I said it was just a lucky guess. I miss working with the elderly but sadly I am now classed as disabled due to back problems & other issues, but I will always appreciate having the privilege to work with such lovely people 💛
I agree.
Listen To The Elders
@@rhyfelwrDuw
ELDERS. ..... WISDOM
Be grateful.
I’m just so sorry they loved each other and couldn’t spend their life together with their baby girl... better late than never
Hermetic Kitten ASMR my uncle had reunited with his teen love 40 years later they had not even spoken in that time. They had been really in love and connected at age 16 i think. They talked met and sparks flew (again) So yeah it happens
Playing devils advocate here. At the time they were separated maybe it was meant to be. At such a young age and to have a baby on top of that. They may not have been able to deal with the pressure. As we get older we are much more capable of dealing with life's adversities. I guess what I'm trying say is maybe this is the way life wanted for each if them. In the end it worked out quite well I think.
Yes! God is FAITHFUL...
The mom was a baby as well. That's why.
@@darrenheadrick3669 For the first time on this video, I just met someone who speaks about it with truth and wisely. YOU,Sir.
The the rest of the commentors are just writing with their mouth emotions not using their minds to see the big picture of the story.
Mom was too young, Dad wasn't even independent himself, they had a baby and the public is blaming their parents that they worried about them and intervened!
This is the cutest story 😭 How the man tears up talking about her is just beautiful
Wow, what an amazing love story. The daughter is absolutely beautiful. There is so much love in this family, I wish I could reach out through my screen and give them a big hug.
I love that this man is not afraid to show his emotions and cry in front of everyone 🥺
His feelings are so strong, he just couldnt help crying.
He has a pure love to her...and thank God they had a second chance
Kayla lilly. I cried too seeing him show his emotions. I'm so happy for them. Bless them.
Why is it that women want to see emotions from a man, like seeing a man cry and stuff?
Quite a thing that you would expect him on grounds of gender to not show his emotions after not seeing his daughter for 55 years. Absolutely ANYTHING could have happened his daughter- her parents who are responsible for her safety gave her away due to family toxicity. Quite a thing that you expect no emotion.
God brought them back together... So beautiful 💜 the truest love
Love your channel girl 😍

I can so relate! I found my first love after almost 40 years and we got married 3 months later. It has been almost 9 years of wedded bliss!
Bless this family.. the love they have is so beautiful
HE LOVED HER CONSISTENTLY FOR 50 YEARS. 😭💕
liv kealy more less like 56 years
I fell in love with a girl when I was 18 years old her name is Jeanette was 21 years old she ended up leaving me for another guy it's been 26 years and I never forgot about her she was the love of my life and I had so many woman's never felt the same
Women now call it creepy
@@MacenW It isn't creepy, but the REALITY of this story is that he didn't really love her for 50 years, he simply didn't live life with her, it's something that was a bit in his "mind" wouldn't you say? Had he really wanted to find her, it seems to me that he could have. Just knocking on doors? And, may I add that he was too young to be having sex, no wonder football didn't interest him. Sex makes babies, and these two kids surely knew that, I grew up in the 50's, we weren't imbeciles.
@@LRyan-li9wr I also thought that was strange. If you truly love someone you would keep trying to find them, doesn't matter how many times you fail. The fact that it took 50 years is insane
Why is nobody talking about how adorable the dad is he’s the cutest thing ever😭😭😭
@Susannah Mertens loved it
He is the absolute sweetest!!!❤❤❤❤
The lady is also very classy.
I noticed the same thing. He was a very good looking young man - good looking older man, too!
He reminds me of me~ but she seems like kind of a cold fish....
Beautiful story of a real man loved loved his lady fair. Things were so different back then. God bless them both. ❤️
This is a heartwarming story :) Their child looks like her dad :)
This is a movie waiting to happen
S J i concur
There was a movie with the same story but the baby was a boy. but I can't remember the name of it !!
+moniquehayes Was it August Rush?
moniquehayes I think I know the one you are talking about...if it is the same one. The mother was played by Ann Jillian and it was based on a story in Kentucky. :)
thank u !!!
They are a really good looking couple both when they were young and when they reunited.
Well the guy was good looking
I totally agree. My thoughts exactly. 😊
Everything about this story is lovely, I am so happy this family was finally able to have every happiness they deserve together. Their daughter looks so happy and healthy and not a day over 40, I hope that means she's had a happy and fulfilling life with her adoptive family. So much joy all around.
When I’m feeling down I watch this video and seeing how emotional he gets it’s a beautiful thing I hope one day someone loves me that much
jean looks amazing for a 55 year old, her parents also look amazing for 65+ year olds!
also this made me so emotional😭
and Peggy well i mean they’re definitely older than 65 aren’t they, hey weren’t 10 when they had her
homie bob yeah lmao
They are 77 i believe 65 means 10 years old
Lmao you think she got pregnant when she was 10?

Harneet Kaur Pick up line. Imagine waiting 50 years to have sex again...LoL 😝
I know right lol
What a beautiful daughter! Great story!!
What a great couple, I'm so happy they found each other again, AND their daughter! 💙
I wish their parents were here to see the great mistake they made in keeping them apart. This was obviously not some high school fling. I’m glad they found each other again. ♥️
Soooo true
For real
I wish they could have gotten married and raised their daughter. This story is heartbreaking.
Exactly what I was thinking. Now what parents?! 😊
That their child would have been raised by two immature kids and she would have never gone to school.
their daughter is 55?? She looks like she is in her early 40s at the most. she must have lead a happy, good life with her adoptive family, I bet that was a relief to hear
Well since her parents were teens at the time im pretty sure the parents are either 60-70 years old
And the daughter have the blue eyes of her father !
If she looks like she’s in her early 40’s I’m doing amazing!
@@l.lisa09 I think they should make a movie about this story. I feel like the Pretty Woman - He Sleeps Soundtrack by James Newton Howard should be played in the background for the couple as a tribute.
@Business Model Don't know about where you are, but round here how you age is usually very soxial class dependant. Working class people are old at 55, the middle class don't get to the same stage til nearly 80. Some exceptions of course, but it does seem a softer life can preserve you better.
5:09 My reaction was exactly same as the girl sitting on the first row, last-second seat in right side. My heart warmed up 💗
I would enjoy finding out about the years they were apart: marriages, children, occupations, where they lived, etc.
I lost it as soon as he started tearing up ...both times 😥
Janah Briscoe me too!!! My heart broke for him. This story is so bittersweet. Their parents thought they knew better and broke this family apart thank God they were able to find their way back together.
I cried😭😭😭 this is the sweetest thing ever. He started crying every time he talked about finding her.
Me too!!!!
Exactly! When he started to cry, I started to cry!
So happy they found their daughter. A few years back I saw a young woman who was in terrible distress; indescribable pain on her pale face; I learned she was an unwed mother and immediately after the babys birth, a social worker appeared and convinced her to sign adoption papers; in her weakened condition she complied. I can never forget this terrible incident; I pray for her that one day she may find her dear baby again.
I am adopted also. I am 68 and just found my mother who is 89 and 3 sisters and 2 brothers!! I can’t believe my mother was still living! My grandson gave me 23 and me as a Christmas gift , from there I found a nephew ! He contacted the family, then a sister called me.. it was a true Blessing!!!
The daughter is the image of her dad.
Jimi MaGee I know. It’s so sad she has two parents that loved each other, loved her, and couldn’t be a family. You only live once and this was cruel for all 3 of them.
The moment he said “ I asked what’s your relationship status”.... the river started flowing😭😭! What a beautiful story!!! 😍😘
Mom The Ebayer me too!!!
SOUL MATES
Mom The Ebayer Uighur
Mom The Ebayer when he said that I knew it was a wrap. I’m a hopeless romantic so I was a goner just by the title alone.
Your period came ?
Steve,
This is such an inspirational story that proves the following theory “love always conquers w/ time” as accurate. Hence, provides the rest of us w/ hope and continuous willingness for patience.
Thank you for sharing this informative story. 😌
God has seen true love in that man and reunited him with his love and daughter
Prime example of If a man really wants you he will do everything he can to be with you :) .

doll girl THIS!!! 🙌🏽
“You made it home, baby” 😂
IKR loved that
True love never dies!!!!! I wish you all health, wealth, and above all happiness!!!!
Amazing! Don’t mess with teenage love.
This man is amazing.
No one should have intervened with this love. I’m so sorry they lost so much time.
The way he cries about his wife is how my papa cried about my granny before she passed and even after. He just loved her so much those are thankful tears and happy tears. I want to be loved like this someday. For sure!

what a bittersweet story; imagine without the internet how difficult things were back then so happy for them
"If you are single and I am single, then where am I flying to"? 😭😭😭😭😭
Thats some pimp talk. Pappa is an OG. 😆
Just by the way he choked up you can tell how deeply he loves her and their daughter. ❤️
Shyan Walker you never leave someone you love. No matter the odds. There are people who tear up over the bad weather (especially older people, they get more sensitive with age) and there are people who never cry no mattee how hard it gets. Dont be fooled by tears.
Two 15 year olds umm okay
Aaawww...
These types of love stories are so bittersweet but goals
You can see how much he loves her. He as been in love with her since highschool. That's so sweet. Don't see that anymore.
This is proof that parents don't always know what's best, and they make mistakes too. It's also proof that you can be young and still know who and what is right for you. They were both on the same page, eveb though they were young
I love your comment and agree wholeheartedly!
The bottom line is that the parent's did not want to assume respondibility for their dependent child's child. They were well within their rights.
Culture was very different back then. The system was in place to separate unmarried mother's from their children and young ppl generally did as their parents demanded
He proposed to her and their parents disapproved. Some parents have caused so much unnecessary pain to their childrens' lives. Good to hear such a happy ending😃😃😃
Agree parents arent ALWAYS right
On a second thought, if a man can’t love me like this, if I don’t sense this type of “I will search for you for five decades and love you all my life” love, then NAH, you cannot and I repeat, CANNOT hold my attention. Good bye👋🏿
Edit: For those commenting about how my expectations are “unrealistic” and I will be miserably single my whole life, the comment was purposely dramatic, it was not meant to be taken literal. Side note: Contrary to popular belief, not everyone finds being single to be a bad thing. You should always take time for yourself and be your main love. Thank you ❤️
Just remember though, you have to offer the same kind of love before you can expect it from someone else.
It's cute but I wouldn't search someone for five decades. I would just move on, 50 years of sadness and loneliness is too much for me.
PERIOD!
A 5 decades love is not my thing but I want a true long love story as well
You gotta deserve it first
So so so so BEAUTIFUL. Had me in tears, happy ones of course!!! ❤️❤️❤️ God bless this family!!! 🙏🙏
He just truly loves her.
True young love never ever dies. Happy for them.
The sweet thing is, they both look at each other with young eyes. My parents told me this once. They were HS sweethearts and they don't see the aging...they see their faces as they were young. This is such a beautiful story for this couple.
So true. I've been married almost 40 years and I don't see the balding head or gray beard (well I do really), but I still also see the young handsome man with a head full of hair, no beard and the love reflected back at me.
Candy Smith, well said
Because first impressions always sticks in the brain
I love what you wrote…
That is very true. Married almost 35 years now and married when I was 20 and he 21. He looks exactly as he did when we met at 19 and 20. The scale may say different, and his comb runs through thinner hair, but I honestly don't see it.
The husband is the definition of a true gentleman. Their story is the definition of a true love story😭😭😭
Jesus loves you so much and I need to tell you that He offers you His Righteousness as a gift He will wash you completely Clean from ALL your sins and wants you to Come to him it says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Meaning the punishment for our sins is Hell Because we are not obedient to God. But Jesus was completely obedient to God He went to the cross to die for us and now we do not trust in our obedience but His it says, “Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.” Gods wrath and Judgment went on Jesus Because He was carrying our sins so God treated Him like the worst sinner now God will Justly treat you like you have never sinned after you believe upon Him so when the blood of Jesus is over you God cannot treat you like a sinner! He never wants to but now He can Justly treat you like you never sinned Jesus was our sacrifice for our sins!
Tell God you admit your a sinner and ask Him to wash you with His blood and receive His Gift of righteousness. Come out of darkness and into light!
it’s your part to receive Jesus to believe upon Him. It says,
“Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.”
Don’t think it’s not wrong to sin
-because He loves us.
Such a beautiful story. Except for the many years lost it would be perfect. God bless you all.
"hello, Dennis!".....that was great. Love is the best part of living.
