#Truelove #storyoftheweek : Ann was 17 and John was 21, grew up in the same neighborhood. The two became friends and their love blossomed. Ann’s parents nearly thwarted the blossoming romance—her father had planned to arrange a marriage for her to someone 20 years her senior. Refusing to give up on love, John and Ann ran away to New York City. Ann’s father lamented, but a family member consoled him by saying young love wouldn’t last. The lovebirds eloped in 1932 and watched the world go through incredible transformations, from the Great Depression to World War II, from the golden age of radio to TV to iPhones. In 2013, John and Ann Betar celebrated their 81st wedding anniversary. They are the longest married couple in the United States of America. That’s what is unconditional love. The selfless love. The spirit of not to give up and to go to any extent to be with your true love is what this story of Ann and John says.
