War Veteran Dressed Up And Surprised His Wife In The Hospital On Their 57th Wedding Anniversary

Happy wife, happy life. That’s what my married friends tell me. And you know what will sure as hell make a happy wife? Dressing up in a tuxedo, buying a huge bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates, and surprising the love of you life in the hospital on your 57th wedding anniversary. GOD DAMNIT I’M LONELY.

Jim Russell is a World War II veteran who after almost 60 years of marriage, hasn’t lost that romantic spark. Russell’s wife, Elinor, had been hospitalized for a month and was growing bored of the monotonous days in her hospital bed.

So, like a true bro, Russell decided to dress like he was going to prom and surprise his lonely wife when she least expected it.

“”

Elinor’s joyful response was awesome.

“Being in a hospital bed, you get bored so when they came in, it made me smile like the younger days when we were dancing.”

They reportedly spent the entire day together talking and watching their favorite TV shows: Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. I’ll take ‘heartwarming stories that make me feel lonelier’ for $600, Alex.

THAT’S LOVE, BROS. THAT’S MOTHER FUCKING LOVE.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to check if I have any Tinder matches.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
