❤️

Unbelievably heartbreaking.

THAT made me cry!! SO GLAD they are back together, some things are meant to be! SHAME on our society for what they had to go through when they were young, I am so happy her brother helped and the neighbor helped them! THAT is the world that I want to live in- a kind, loving world! VOTE BLUE!!

Love your story God Bless you both

That’s breaks anyone heart. 😔

It's because many people in his circumstance are physically alive, but they die inside.

💯

His niece knew where he was but didn’t bother to visit him? WTF.

@TempeSoldier123some people are selfish

@@greaterishe7197 Yes, I used to visit my aunt at a nursing home. That place was depressing!

He look so much better hope they can do a year update sure he be sitting up.

Yes he even looks much younger. I’m hoping that he now regains the will to live and gets much better even for her, for them both to still be able to enjoy many good years together.

She probably added years to his life. Beautiful story.

❤️❤️❤️

I am fixin' to cry .

Yahoo

Right? Oh if she could see them now, especially with him living in her home, she'd have a fit!😂😂

The mother was right, imagine, he has no visitor for 10 years. Where is his family members??

@@createinmeacleanheartohgod6871 The mother was right??? Imagine blaming someone for their family members dying out or simply abandoning them. Not everyone is blessed with parents who care about them or the well being of their children. Her parents are one of those, racists. You too apparently.

🙄

This is what is meant when they say, "GOD is in the restoration business".

How is a lack of visitors racism?

You’re right! There are some racial stereotypes the end up being true on an individual basis. That is not racism. However, disliking a person solely on the basis of skin color with disregard for good character IS racism. I experienced this kind of racism in my teens. A blessing in disguise. Never married until 35. I feel extreme sorrow for this poor couple who should have never experienced this pain! They are PRECIOUS.

So glad he hadn't left the planet when she started searching.

@@raquiely it’s sad how the mother interfered based on skin color when her daughter could have married a man she loved with good character. in contrast there are families who DON’T interfere when they SHOULD and their child marries a horrible, deceitful person. that happened in my husband’s first “marriage” and I’ve met soooo many men this has happened to!

Here's the update

Someone reported that they got married

Me too

​@@christinesimpson7592​​ sometimes YT blocks links, but the update video title is: "Portland couple reunited after 42 years apart is getting married". Should be able to find that way. They planned to get married and he announced it ❤... So hopefully they did 🙏🏽

for the first time i am seeing that a white person is having an Indian name. "Sarita" is common Indian name.

@@Astika-and-Nastika In Spanish "Sarita" is a diminutive of Sara

Yep that’s when you know shit’s about to get real lol I love the way Americans put it! 😂😢

Fingers crossed 🤞 for you

Yes. Jeanne has a laugh that I could just die for. Those little things make a person what they are.

I have a heart of gold ! And I am a nurse ! Looking for that good guy still at 64. 😢

Right❤

🥺🥺🥺

It breaks my heart to know how much pain and suffering Steve’s been through but I’m so glad he’s gotten his happy ending. By far my favourite love story to this day

You would be surprised how common this is.

They never had children.

You should be asking yourself what kind of uncle he was for her not to visit him. Many of us in the "community" know all too well that these men are either pr€dat0rs or extremely mean or selfish in their prime. Well, it comes back around at the end of their life.

I cried tears of sadness for that, and at the end, tears of JOY!

I wonder if it's because it's depressing? My mom and I used to visit my aunt at the nursing home and that place was depressing, I told my mom I'll never let her go to one.

Two months after my brother and I buried our mother after caring for her 5 years through a cancer battle, my brother suffered a heart attack and anoxic brain injury and died 10 months after our mother. Sometimes too much grief and despair befall a surviving family to care for another loved one. 🙏🏾

We don't know what happened. Some people bring it on themselves, and some people just don't know some of their aunts/uncles like that. For me and my uncle, it's a combination of both. I had an uncle whom I hadn't seen since I was a young teen. My dad was always the one initiating hanging out with his brother, but then my dad had a major stroke that severely disabled him for the rest of his life. His twin brother (my uncle) never came to visit him, so I never saw my uncle ever again after my dad's stroke. Eventually, my uncle went to live in a nursing home, and died. It never occurred to me to visit my uncle in the nursing home because I hadn't seen him since I was a teen, and he had abandoned my dad - his twin. When my uncle died, I didn't know him anymore. I don't regret not visiting. It's just the way the world turned, and my uncle hadn't made an effort to connect with any of us (his nieces/nephew) or my dad once my dad could no longer get out of the house. Sorry, but no, he didn't deserve a visit from me just because I was his niece. People don't suddenly become innocent angels when they become ill/disabled. I'm not going to assume anything about this man and why he hasn't had visitors in so long, but people also shouldn't assume anything about why his niece hasn't visited either.

10 years not 19, but still a shame.....🥺🥺🤦🏽‍♀🤦🏽‍♀🤷🏽‍♀🤷🏽‍♀

I have a random question for you. It breaks my heart to hear how many folks don’t have visitors. I’d like to visit folks who haven’t had visitors but I’m not sure if that’s even allowed. Do you know if there are programs like that? Or if I could just call some local nursing homes? If you don’t have answers that’s totally fine too I just figured I might ask!

YES!! call nursing homes!! call hospices!! in some churches theres a seniors visiting program in hospitals!! go for it!! @@SarahMele

@@SarahMele I bet if you call some local care facility's and ask if you could come and visit some of those who don't get visitors, I almost bet that they would say yes!! To have someone to come and visit and volunteer some time is something not done anymore but needs to start back up....

10 years

Yesss 🥰

We can all do our part in restoring humanity, even if it's one random act of kindness a day.

Some people bring it on themselves, and some people just don't know some of their aunts/uncles like that. For me and my uncle (my dad's twin brother), it's a combination of both.

My dad was always the one initiating hanging out with his brother, but then my dad had a major stroke that severely disabled him for the rest of his life.

It's just the way the cookie crumbled, and my uncle hadn't made an effort to connect with any of us (his nieces/nephew) or my dad once my dad could no longer get out of the house.

Please tell us how it went. So sorry

❤❤

:(

Me too. Had to move on and think of my daughter, needing a father.

Depends on how you two broke up. The man in this story is very forgiving. If it were me, I’d never meet with her.

I'm wondering the same thing 🤔 He does have a niece, though. She's the person who received a letter from Jeannie and told her where Steve was living.

Dude. I am 42 and i am alone. Just life

sometimes when you love a woman you love her for life. no other "pretty young thing" would ever compare. also, a lot of people have full lives and even kids but still end up in homes with no visitors. just because kids or wife doesn't mean they love you or are still alive to take care of you. just some food for thought. all humans are unique and have different experiences... this is normal. tragic sometimes, but still normal.

FABULOUS❣️ So happy for you❣️

Shush! Don't ask that question...

@@RodneyKimbangu , we, asian, we care our elderly parents to the very end. You can ask any Asian nearby to confirm. LOL

The west is divided and focuses on individualism instead of nuclear/strong families. The USA is about me me me me and more me mentality. Don’t get me wrong there’s elderly people who want socialization and want to go to a nursing home or sometimes families can’t afford to take care of them. Asia used to be this way too but in the last recent years it has changed drastically where young people don’t want to take care of their elderly parents/grandparents, so many end up homeless, abandoned or in worse situations in a gr@v3.

Maybe he would not have had them or maybe they were genetic and bound to happen no matter what. She should have stood up to her family and they would have had 42 yrs together. But what they have now it's more than what many have. Many are going to stay single because of many different issues. I wonder about the future of our society 😢
