True love spans years of romance, tears, and wrinkles earned together. There may be no better movie than "The Notebook" to show the depth and tribulations a couple goes through to be with each other. Based on the book by Nicholas Sparks, Ally and Noah's love ends when they both pass away at nearly the same time in an assisted living home. It's an absolute tearjerker, similar to a real-life couple shared by TikTok user Deborah Mosely (@deborahmosely1st).

Mosely shared a touching tribute to a couple that was married 64 years ago, which she calls "my favorite love story." The montage begins with a sweet scene of the couple in their later years spending time in their kitchen. She writes in the video that they were married on July 9, 1960. More pictures are shown of the couple embracing one another in a living room and wearing matching t-shirts at a celebration. The couple enjoyed "countless meals" together, as Mosely shared a picture of them dining at their kitchen table.


The video takes a sad turn as their health starts to decline simultaneously. Mosely writes that the husband went to a nursing facility on August 7, 2024. Three days later, the wife was admitted to the hospital for a brain bleed–and 7 days later she joined her husband in the same nursing facility for rehab.


The video documents these days and their sweet reunion at the facility. She is now in a wheelchair, and he sits on a large leather couch as they hold each other's hands facing one another. It cuts to a heart-wrenching scene of the couple lying next to each other in separate beds–which ultimately get pushed together in the next scene so they can once again be close to one another and hold hands.

The last clip in the video shows the two in better in healthier days dancing together, and reveals that the wife passed away on November 18, 2024 at 10:30 p.m. Her husband followed her just hours later on November 19, 2024, at 8 a.m.–less than 10 hours apart. "64 years in marriage, only 10 hours apart in death," she writes in the video. One viewer commented, "'The Notebook' in real life ❤️"–and it really is.

The emotional video deeply touched TikTok viewers. "whew!! The true meaning of 'I can't live a day without you'," one TikToker commented. Another shared, "This is heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time🙏🏾." And another sweetly wrote, "He said if you think you about to leave me here on earth you crazy, I’m coming with you! 🥰."

Many shared that they hope to experience their kind of love at some point in their lives. "The kind of Love we all long for ❤️❤️❤️❤️," one commented. And another wrote, "i pray i get to experience something so pure & beautiful in life🥺❤️." In another moving comment, another shared, "My Lord, what I wouldn’t give to have this kind of love! Thank you for sharing what true love birds look like in human form. 🥰."

One thing is for sure–their love story is one that's made for the movies.

A man checked on his neighbor’s dog—and the doorbell cam caught something beautiful

A quiet act of kindness has gone viral after a doorbell camera captured an older man checking on a neighborhood dog he hadn’t seen in a while. The footage, originally shared to Instagram and TikTok, documents a touching exchange between the man—identified only as Ted—and the dog's owner. His simple gesture reminded thousands of the unexpected but powerful connections we form through our pets.

Ted appears on the video visibly nervous, gently knocking and saying, “Hi, um, I used to walk my dog along here, and I used to say hello to the German Shepherd that was here… I just wanted to make sure she's okay.”

She offered a homeless man some pizza—he was actually a Hollywood star in disguise

A simple act of kindness turned into an unforgettable story for one woman and her family while visiting New York City. Karine Gombeau, a French tourist, was exploring the city with her husband and teenage son when she spotted a man rummaging through a trash can near Grand Central Terminal. Moved by what she saw, she decided to offer the man some leftover pizza.

"He should have my pizza instead of going through that bin."

What she didn’t know? That “homeless man” was actually Hollywood legend Richard Gere.

Employee forced to wait for manager’s permission to clock out. Her revenge? Pure genius.

A workplace ruled by toxic bosses can quickly become unbearable, even turning routine tasks like leaving work into frustrating ordeals. Sadly, some managers take micromanagement to extreme levels, insisting on needless and arbitrary rules.

One employee recently went viral on Reddit after brilliantly turning the tables on her manager, who demanded she seek permission before clocking out—even though no one else in the store ever followed such a requirement.

These 21 products are gaslighting us into thinking they’re essential. They’re not.

Some things in life are actually necessary—clean water, decent healthcare, basic human decency. But then there are the things that feel like they’re gaslighting us. The things we’re told we can’t live without, even though we survived just fine before they existed. Things like "smart" fridges, lawn fertilizer services, and yes—whole body deodorant.

Recently, we asked our Facebook audience: What's a product or service that feels like it's gaslighting all of us into thinking it's necessary? More than 8,000 responses poured in. The answers were passionate, funny, and surprisingly unified.
