Joe and Ann met in 1964. Joe, a young soldier, and Ann, a nurse, happened to sit beside each other on a bench near her hospital. They struck up a conversation, and Joe felt transported from the chaos of war. The next day, before Joe deployed, they promised to meet on that same bench, no matter where life took them. When Joe returned, he found Ann waiting, and they went on to share a life filled with family and enduring love.
Upon retiring at 55, they made it a tradition to sit on that bench every day, rain or shine. Locals began calling it “Joe and Ann’s Bench,” and young couples admired their bond. Seasons changed, but their bench witnessed each chapter of their lives.
Now, at 100, they still meet there daily. Joe helps Ann with her coat, and she straightens his hat. In their quiet moments, they feel the love they’ve built. When asked about their lasting love, Joe says, “Just find someone you want to sit with, forever,” and Ann’s smile shows she knows he means it.
