Diary Clue Leads to Wedding 62 Years Later

This news story made me smile today when I came online to read my news alerts. To think just a telephone number noted in a diary led to a couple finally getting back together and marrying after such a long time.
“Then, in 2006, Ivan’s wife passed away and, going through his diary, he found Beatrice’s telephone number.”
It certainly reminds me to include the little details in my journals, even if I doubt my hubby would read mine in the same situation. It’s always handy to be able to look back and find information like that if you include it in your journal or diary.

This story reminds me of a similar one in a satirical novel I read by Terry Pratchett. It’s called “Going Postal.”
There is an old couple that was going to be married, but they corresponded by mail, and the post office shut down–so they thought the other didn’t care anymore. Once the post office started delivering mail again, they got married at an elderly age.
Just a tidbit…
Hi Joshua,
Lol, thanks for sharing that. I still haven’t read any of Pratchett’s novels. I might keep my eye out for that one. Thanks for your comment.
