After posting on another thread on old husband and wife, I was thinking about the ending scene from the movie 'The Notebook' (2004). Gena Rowlands and James Garner performed so well. I recalled that the first time I watched it in the theatre, I heard a few teenagers sitting close to me sobbed out loud and cried.
Hmm…when I watched this scene again, after I passed my 50, well…urh… where is my handkerchief?
I think this scene is more than a romantic scene. Don’t you think? :-)

I've just read this news. This is not a movie but a true story. It was sad but beautiful and spiritual. Couple of 60 years die within hours of each other Photo by Melissa Sloan A US couple married for more than 60 years but parted by illness have died within hours of each others after their family reunited them for the final time. Don and Maxine Simpson met, married and lived in Bakersfield, California. They did everything together. They traveled the world, were involved in local clubs and adopted two children. Granddaughter Melissa Sloan told local news station Kero Bakersfield of the couple's extraordinary story. Don was hospitalized about two weeks ago after falling and breaking his hip. His health deteriorated and at the same time the cancer that Maxine had been battling become more aggressive. Melissa told Kero News: "I told my sister on the phone, we got one shot to get them together." The family moved Don and Maxine into a spare bedroom in the family home. “We kept them together, and had their beds side-by-side,” Sloan said. “Gram woke up and saw him, and held hands and they knew that they were next to each other,” Melissa said. “I knew in my heart this is what’s supposed to happen. Grandma and grandpa are supposed to be together and grandma and grandpa are going to die together." Maxine died first but Melissa told Kero News Don stopped breathing as soon as her body left the room, and he died a few hours later. “They left this world together,” said Sloan. - from Morning news break - August 4
