80 Years Happy Marriage - They are the Salt of the Earth

This beautiful couple is a record-breaker. They are together, as a married couple, since 1939. And, they keep the Guinness Record for "The Oldest Couple in the World".  

I was thrilled by the story of Mr. John Henderson and Mrs. Charlotte Henderson from Texas, USA. They celebrated their 80th wedding anniversary on December 22, 2019. And, John knew how to remain romantic even after such a long-term co-living.

He took his lifetime love for a ride in a 1920s roadster, much like he did on their first date, and with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Look how happy they are after this beautiful moment that sends them back in time. 

A wonderful couple sharing an amazing story that goes beyond the limits of incredible. I've seen couples celebrate silver anniversaries or even golden anniversaries. But, help me guys, how can we call the 80th anniversary? Alexandrite Aniversary, right! 

John and Charlotte met during WWII at university and after 5 years in a relation, they decided to get married. I'm sure none of them knew at the time they would live such a long and happy life together. I'm sure they never thought they will set the new record of the Alexandrite Wedding Anniversary.

As we are speaking John enjoys 106 years on his shoulders, while his lady is one year younger. When asked what is the secret of a long happy marriage, the lady of the house said:

"To live Life in Moderation"

&  

"And, be cordial to your spouse"

- added the man of the house.

I wish both of them from the bottom of my heart to enjoy many other happy years in good health and full of love. As rightly said by one of their neighbors: "They are the salt of the Earth".

I was very excited to read their story at 7 News Newspaper. Stories like this make life on earth seems better and beautiful. It helps liberate the brain from the ugly stuff we hear daily and other problems of life. Listen to Hendersons' advice guys. They will help you live a happy and long life. Cheers!

Russian Lady found her "dead" Sister after 78 years

Rosalina and Yulia were only 16 and 14 years old when they saw each other for the last time. And, were needed 78 long years for the two sisters to meet again. 

Their separation story started during the Second World War, at the time of the Battle of Stalingrad (Y1942). Rosalina was working at the time at a tank factory, a secret workplace. Even though the work rules required full confidentiality, she decided to break the rules and to disclose to her family information about her workplace.

Nazi army bombed the tank factory and at the time her mother and one of her sisters went there, they found the building completely ruined on the ground. Some people there told them that Rosalina died from the bombing. They accepted that information for truth and suffered the loss of Rosalina for years. Soon after the Battle of Stalingrad, the remaining part of the family (Yulia, her mother, and another sister) was evacuated to Soviet Central Asia.

What happened to Rosalina?

The workers of the tank factory were very valuable for the Russian army, so they were moved from the factory only some minutes before the bombing. A big boat sent them to another tank factory in another secret place, Chelyabinsk in the Urals, far away from Stalingrad.

After the war, Rosalina kept searching for her family, but she could not find any of her siblings or parents. Then, she created her own family and kept living all her life in Chelyabinsk, Russia. 

Two sisters at the time they got separated

How did the Sisters found each - other?

The beauty of living at technological developments and the internet era is that people can reach each other much easier. Yulia asked her daughter to check at a Russian website seeking to reunite war-divided families. She hoped to find her brother Yury, who went to the front together with their father. Her daughter told that there was a woman named Rosa, who was looking for her. You might imagine her surprise when the son of Rosalina confirmed that she was the sister she thought died in 1942. 

The meeting

The meeting was arranged after confirmations of police officers that they have family relationships. Then, Yulia the younger sister (92 years old), traveled by train a very long trip to meet Rosalinda (94 years old). 

Their meeting was incredible! Two old women met after a very long time, crying and laughing at the same time. That meeting was the best panorama of the miracle of family. 78 years apart, they regenerated their ties through family memories. Rosalina heard the sad fate of her mother, who died for hungry. She learned that her other sister, Galina succumbed to typhoid. And, she found out that both her father and brother never came back from the frontline. 

I think this is the most wonderful present life made to Russian sisters and their children. Such stories reinforce the life lesson that hope is the last one to die.
