    • I signed up for this site just to post a comment on this video. This was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I cried a little bit.

    • I don't have the right words to express what I am feeling right now. So you'll just have to settle for "That was really beautiful!"

    • 62 years is a long time...this took huge courage...seeing those 2 find life in each other...happiness in each other...love in each other....that was wonderful....and seeing them flirt....that was pretty cool too...

    • This was the sweetest and cutest podcast. Jack's anticipation, humor, and nervousness was so endearing! Not to mention it made me cry like a baby.

    • This is one of the most precious stories I've ever heard. It's amazing that some feelings just know no age. Thank you for sharing this. Great pod, very simple and to the point.

    • I absolutely love this pod! So sweet, you couldn't make this up if you tried. Definitely goes to show that you don't need incredible production techniques in order to adequately capture your subject. The footage of Jack going through a range of emotions before the reunion is so cute...haha it definitely makes you keep believing in love!

    • I cried but more importantly I think its nice for our generation to understand that just because things dont work out when we want them to doesnt mean things wont work out later... the possibility of the future is something we overlook.....alright but wow! cute... thank you thank you thank you. Im making everyone I know watch it!

    • I am not one for sappy love stories, but this was one of the sweetest things I've seen in a long time. I was so nervous for Jack, his anticipation must have been torture. I hope they are happy together now.
