The Best Love Story I Have Ever Heard

I Love You

The other day I clicked on a link that took me to Oprah's website. I was intrigued by the 50 year love story that was chronicled in the book, "Love in the Time of Cholera."

The name of the guy in the book was Herman. When he was 12 years old, he was sent along with his family to one of the Nazi Concentration camps. I suspect his family were all killed, but he survived the diseases and the appointment with the dreaded gas chambers for two years.

One day, he was walking along the barb wire fence, he saw a girl his age standing on the other side. She gave him an apple. And did so for every day for the next 7 months.

But he was scheduled for the gas chamber and the Russian army swooped just in time to save him.

15 years later, Herman was living in New York City. His well meaning friends decided to set him up with a blind date.

Any guesses who the girl was? Yep, it was Roma, the girl that fed Herman the apples to save his life from starvation!

Being no idiot, Herman proposed to her that day and they have been married for 50 years.

Today, none of us are living in the horrors of a death camp. so don't take things so seriously and tell everybody that you care for that you love them. If you don't do it now, it may be too late...

Happy Thanksgiving!
