I wish I had that~
"Oh Sweet Lorraine"
This is a sweet, sweet story about Fred Stobaugh who is 96 years old. He wrote a song for his wife that she'll never get to hear. Lorraine died in April, they had been together for 73 years. You might be surprised if we told you that his song is in the Top 10 songs on iTunes and he can't even carry a tune, even he admits that. The song is called "Oh Sweet Lorraine" and this video will make you shed a tear. "Share" this story as Fred has shared the love of his life with us all. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10201826756572900&set=vb.39741899363&type=2&theater take a few minutes, it is worth it~

6. Amid all the misery and anger in this world, one marriage, one love like theirs inspires hope in
us all.
Here's to 75 years of marriage. I always say the first 25 years are the hardest. So bear with it you young'uns. |

15. Misted like Frank's eyes.. bless his heart.
I was crying and eating at the same time because I was so hungry. I almost started choking but I couldn't stop either one.
