Matapos ang higit anim na dekadang paghihintay, mapakakasalan na ng isang 78 anyos na doktor ang kanyang first love.

Ito ang inspiring love story ni Thomas McMeekin, 78, at high school crush niyang si Nancy Gambell, 78, mula sa U.S.A.

Ang kuwento ng dalawang matanda ay nag-viral noong Hulyo 2023.

Magkaklase sila noong high school at nag-date, pero naunsyami ang pagmamahalan at naghiwalay ang landas.

“I had a crush on her. She’s a beautiful cheerleader, and I thought I could never, she should never accept a date coz she was so pretty and everyone loved her,” pagbabalik-tanaw ni Thomas sa interview ng ABC News.

Pagsapit ng college ay nag-date ang dalawa, subalit nawalan ng komunikasyon sa mga lumipas na taon.

Nanirahan si Thomas sa Tampa, samantalang si Nancy ay sa California.

Sabi ni Nancy, nagkaroon sila ng kanya-kanyang buhay, karera, trabaho, at kanya-kanyang asawa at mga anak.

LOVE IS SWEETER THE SECOND TIME AROUND

Muli silang nagkaroon ng ugnayan ngayong 78 na sila at pareho nang malaya.

Wala silang sinayang na sandali.

“We started talking and emailing and texting,” lahad ni Nancy.

Hindi nagpatumpik-tumpik si Thomas, at binilhan agad niya si Nancy ng plane ticket para magkita sila.

Aniya, “We were meant for each other, and so I said, ‘I’m sending you tickets to come and see me.’”

Lumipad papuntang Tampa si Nancy, at isang malaking sorpresa na magpapabago sa kanyang buhay ang naghihintay sa kanya.

Sa kumalat na kuhang videos ng dalawa, makikitang excited sa airport si Thomas habang hinihintay ang paglabas ni Nancy.

Mainit na halik sa labi ang isinalubong ni Nancy kay Thomas.

Isang mainit na halik ang isinalubong ni Nancy Gambell, 78, kay Thomas McMeekin, 78, nang magkita sila sa Tampa airport.

Nang makaupo sila sa passengers’ lounge, kasama ang iba pang pasahero, biglang lumuhod si Thomas sa harap ni Nancy.

Naglabas ng isang papel si Thomas at binasa ang isinulat niya rito.

Sabi niya, “It’s been 60 years since we first met. You have always been the one that I’ve had a crush on since your cheerleader days.

“You are everything that I have ever wanted in a partner, lover, friend.

"I want to spend the rest of my life with you, to cherish every moment.

“Will you, Nancy, do me the honor of being my soulmate in life, my partner in every sense of the world, and my beloved wife forever? Marry me.”

“I will,” sagot ng emosyonal na Nancy.

Nagpalakpakan ang mga taong nakasaksi sa pangyayari.
