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.
