For their 61st anniversary this year, 87-Year-Old Bob Phillips decided to write his wife Gail, a love letter and publish it in their local newspaper, the Charlotte Observer. He wrote:
Dear Gail,
I look at newspaper pictures of new brides every Sunday. I’m searching. I want to see if there is now or ever will be another bride as lovely as you. Been doing that since June 27, 1953.
Actually, I already know the answer. There is not — and never will be to me – your equal in loveliness. On our wedding day you were the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. The delightful truth is that you still are.
