A letter From Fred (If You Don't Feel This Check Your Pulse)

[Soot and Stars]

Wow! I don't know if anything's made me well up quite like this before! A man in his 90's writes a song for his wife of 70+ years after her recent passing with the help of some generous songwriters. Just goes to show that everyone's got a song and how music may be the best way of healing and celebrating ever!

Oh Sweet Lorraine

Very poignant kudos to Fred and the folks who helped him knock this love song out.

I know, right? I think we live in a cynical age where everything that's produced to see has it's good graces questioned in the most cynical way but I can't get enough of seeing positive stuff like this! It feels sincere and represents much of what i find valuable in humanity!

^ Humanity is made up of little people and little stories. Most of us don't do anything big or important enough to change the world.

The best stories are just like this one.

75 years together. I can't stand to be in the same room with most of the people I know for more than 8 hours. Even the ones I like!

^^^ A beautiful story and song .................... and yes I have tears in my eyes.

True Love...

Man, 70+ years of marriage and he does this for her? I read of coach John Wooden and actor Jerry Orhbach who penned daily letters to their significant others well after their passing. This is something else. It's stories like these that makes me think that there really is some good out there.

Thanks for sharing Soot. This really makes my day and is a nice reminder.

Glad you guys like it! I always appreciate love stories from couples who have almost their whole lives invested in each other. I hate how love is only fixated as a youth thing today. The video posted IS love plain and simple.
