SEE THE TWO LOVERS WHO REUNITED SEVENTY YEARS LATER

This is the most touching but realest  romance story to spice up your valentine in the spirit of love and lovers. I saw this story on sky news and i felt this was the most befitting story for you on this day when you decide to celebreate youthful love. This is a story of two lovers who carried their emotions for 70 years unabated and even the storms of life and the forces of nature that work to separate humans for no reason at all could not erase what true feelings these two shared. 

Seventy years is the full life span of a man. It makes me wonder how many men and women have died without truly finding love for one cause or the other. 

When 21 year old Norwood Thomas, an Amrican paratrooper was drafted to London to partake in the D-day invasion of Nomady to drive out the Nazi German during world war II, little did he know that he would find love, lose love, survive the war, live through the years and make history 70 years later. 

17 year old British Joyce Morris and  21 Year old Norwood

Thomas met 17-year-old British girl Joyce Morris in London some days before d-day. As every young and vibrant youth, seeking fun, adventure or love  they had some sparks between them, the sparks grew to embers, embers to full fires and the two started dating. A few moments later, Normady needed to be taken by the allied forces. Duty called so the courageous paratrooper was drafted to Nomady France to fight the bitter battle that cost about 120,000 allied Lives.

Victory won, war over, Thomas moved back to America while the lovers kept in touch via letters and posts (No facebook and whatsapp..) and along the line, he proposed to his sweetheart to come to the United State and marry him. But as fate would have it, Thomas was gravely misunderstood by Joyce who thought he said he had found another lover and was getting married. The young lady got jealous and infuriated (no matter the time and era, women have always been women) and stopped writing him. 

Contacts lost, they got married to other spouses but not finding true fulfillment and satisfaction like 70% of marriages existing today, they lived on with their partners. Joyce's marriage hit the rocks 30 years later and ended in a divorce while Thomas stayed married and lost his wife in 2001 to death. The resilient survivor Thomas lived on. 

 Now 92 years of age and Joyce 88, fate decided to bring them together once again. Thanks to Skype and the media.

 You know women in their special nature rarely forget things. So Ms Joyce never forgot Norman (please don't offend your woman she will never forget), then last year she asked one of her sons to find Mr Thomas online. 

After the discovery of his name in an article about D-Day in a newspaper in Virginia, the two made contact and spoke on Skype, with the help of their children. 

Mr Thomas's local newspaper The Virginian-Pilot heard of the story and a reader started a campaign to send him from his home in Virginia Beach to Australia to meet his long-lost sweetheart again. 

1 moment just before the 70 years awaited hug

Donations flowed in and Air New Zealand donated first class airfares for Mr Thomas and his son Steve, who lives with his father and looks after him.

 Before he embarked on the 10,500-mile trip, Mr Thomas told The Virginian-Pilot: "I'd rather die travelling to Australia than live sitting around at home wondering 'what if?' "I'm just looking forward to seeing her smile" and "giving her a squeeze".

Wonderful moment as they hug 70 years later

 As they stood in the Australian city of Adelaide many hours later sharing their first embrace in more than seven decades, they laughed. Mr Thomas Saaid on Tv "This is about the most wonderful thing that could have happened to me." Ms Morris, now 88 and struggling with failing eyesight, laughed, adding: "We're going to have a wonderful fortnight."

Till death do us part for real

 These Two right here will die in peace.

True Love Never Ever Dies....
