Love is the most beautiful thing in the world. But, we must recognize that in our time, human relationships have become complex. Divorce and celibacy are raging in our societies. Millions of people despair of finally finding true love! However, many people end up throwing in the towel, firmly believing that this wait is in vain and that happy endings only exist in the cinema. Not so sure. Because sometimes, even in real life, we can expect wonderful surprises. Look at the story of John and Phyllis Cook: this couple met by chance in a retirement home in Sylvania, Ohio, USA. Neither of them would have ever imagined that they would find love in the corridors of this home. Even less so at their advanced age: John is barely a hundred years old, while Phyllis is approaching 103 years old. At this stage of life, we live day by day, waiting to move on to the other side. But it seems that the ways of love are impenetrable. After all, while we’re still breathing, why not try a final experience together on this earth?
This is surely the idea that crossed the minds of these two souls who loved each other, almost at first sight. Yes, this may surprise some, but there is no age to fall in love. “ To tell you the truth, even though it might sound a little crazy for people our age, we simply fell in love with each other “, explains Phyllis. And we want to believe that it is a fantastic adventure. Now famous, the two lovebirds of the Kingston residence form an adorable couple who fascinate both the staff and the residents of the establishment. Their apartments being only one floor apart, they had the opportunity to cross paths on several occasions, to spend time together and thus form a very strong bond. Their eyes shone with each of their alterations and their understanding was so deep that everything seemed natural and fluid between them, as if they had known each other forever. “ Well we were just compatible in many ways, we enjoyed each other’s company said John, a World War II veteran.
…a few months later, they got married!

Certainly, falling in love when you are a hundred years old is something truly unusual. This senior couple is well aware of it, but what do you expect: the heart has its reasons that reason does not know! John and Phyllis understood from the first glance they exchanged that they were made for each other. And the more the days passed, the more destiny sealed their inexplicable bond. So much so that they even decided to consolidate their love by getting married. During their lives, each of them had already married twice. So why not repeat the experience? Never two without three ! Some people want to get married to start a family and grow old together. In their case, they just wanted to spend the rest of their lives as husband and wife. Is it so unthinkable?
Now married, John and Phyllis are inseparable. They like to spend time doing activities together, laughing, telling each other regarding special events in their lives…. to simply enjoy the present moment, with a smile on your lips and joy in your heart. That said, even though they have made their union official, they both want to preserve their independence and each keep their own space. Nevertheless, this new beginning marks the beginnings of an unexpected happiness which they will happily enjoy during the time they have left to live.
