''Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything. It is, in fact, the one thing that still stands when all else has fallen''. (1 Cor. 13: 7-8 )

The Couple Who Died Holding Hands After 72 years Together

Iowa couple Norma and Gordon Yeager were both in their 90s and had been married 72 years when they were hospitalized following a car accident. The nurses and doctor kept the two together in the intensive care unit. They were barely responsive, but they were holding hands.

Gordon passed away, and exactly one hour later, Norma followed him, still holding his hand.
Ninety-year-old Norma and 94-year-old Gordon Yeager met while Norma was still in high school and Gordon was working at the Chevrolet Garage in State Center, Iowa.
They were married on May 26, 1939, the day Norma graduated. They had four children together, one daughter and three sons.

The Couple That Grew Stronger AfterOne of Them Had a Four Limb Amputation

Few high school sweethearts make it past the hat toss at graduation. However, Taylor Morris and Danielle Kelly have made it through so much more. The Iowa natives stayed together and, in 2007, Morris enlisted as an explosive ordnance disposal technician in the Navy. After years of training, Morris was assigned to Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit 12 and the couple moved to
Virginia Beach, Va.

While Morris, a Petty Officer 2nd Class, was deployed to Afghanistan, the couple talked about their future plans. But then Morris stepped on an improvised explosive device, losing both legs above the knee, his left arm, and right hand. However, that tragic
incident has done nothing to stifle the couple's relationship.
Their story of love has crossed the globe.
Twenty-two photos of Morris and Kelly were posted on BuzzFeed, a collection house of viral content on the web, under the headline "A love story in 22 pictures."
As of Sept. 20, the story had more than 2.6 million views.
Tim Dodd, the professional photographer (and Morris' longtime friend) who took many of the photos in the post, said the
sailor is happy that his story is reaching so many people.

The 96-Year-Old Man Who Wrote aLove Song to Honor His Wife of 72 Years

Fred and Lorraine Stobaugh were together for 75 years. So when she passed away, the 96-year-old's heart broke. He had lost the
love of his life. Soon after Lorraine's death, the Illinois man penned a song in his wife's memory.
Then, on impulse, he sent the song in to Green Shoe Studio's singer-songwriter contest after he saw an ad for the competition in a local paper. The contest required participants to upload songs onto
the internet, but Fred just sent his
handwritten song via snail-mail. He also knew that he couldn't sing a note.
At Green Shoe Studios, the song caught the attention of Jacob Colgan, who was so moved by Fred's tribute that he decided to
produce it. The performance begins at 5:53 in the video, but you'll want to watch the entire
heartwarming tale.

The Modern Day Romeo and Juliet WhoKilled Themselves Because They Weren'tAllowed to be Together

It was a story buried in the middle of the Indian newspapers. In 2009, two star- crossed lovers committed suicide after the local village council, or panchayat, ordered them to annul their marriage or face death.
Amreen was Muslim and her husband, Lokesh, was a Hindu. Their match was simply unacceptable to their communities, so the couple poisoned themselves. Police charged the entire panchayat with abetting suicide.

The Couple Who Reunited After a Long-Lost Love Letter was Discovered in the Fireplace

A couple got married after they were reunited when a long-lost love letter, sent ten years ago, was found unopened behind a fireplace. In 2009, Steve Smith and Carmen Ruiz-Perez, both 42, walked down the aisle following a separation of 16 years.
The pair fell in love and got engaged in their 20s after Carmen moved to England as a foreign exchange student. However, after a year-long relationship the couple drifted apart when she had to move back to France. A few years later, Steve wrote to her in a bid to rekindle their romance, but
Carmen's mother put it on the mantlepiece and it slipped down the back of the fireplace. It remained there unopened for the next decade, until the fireplace was removed for renovations.
Carmen, who had remained single and never forgot the love of her life, was given the letter in which Steve had written, "I hope you are well. I was just writing to ask if you ever married and if you ever still thought of me? It would be great to hear from you, please great in touch if you can.
Steve Bleep."
Carmen said that, initially, she was too nervous to call since so much time had passed, but she plucked up the courage and the pair arranged to meet. They met up
in Paris a few days later and have now wed - 17 years after they first fell in love.

The Teenager Who Carried a Friend on His Back for 8 Years

Because love is not only about couples but also about friendship, we've included this last story. In Hebei, China, a 16-year-old teenager named Lui Shi Ching has carried his friend to school on a daily basis for the last eight years. His friend, Lu Shao, has a congenital disorder which makes it difficult for him to walk.
Eight years ago on a rainy day, Lu shao was stuck at school when his mom didn't come to pick him up. Lui Shi Ching, who was smaller than Lu Shao, decided to help and
carried him home. Since then, he has carried Lu Shao to and from school and even to restrooms.
Lui Shi Ching didn't brag about his good deeds too much; his parents didn't even find out until four years after he first helped his friend. Lu Shao mentioned in his
diary that Lui Shi Ching's help has lifted a dark cloud in his life and let sunshine into it.
