A Heartwarming Story
The following is a heartwarming story to be considered for publication in your amazing magazine. I enjoy your magazine every month!
………….
In June 2023, at the age of 58, I was widowed. My late wife was almost 62. We were together for 33 years.
For a long time after her death, I wondered, “will I ever feel the love of a woman ever again?”
Sometime later, I went to a psychic fair, and presented the same question to a psychic. She told me, that I was “going to meet a blond woman on a beach, and her first name will start with a ‘J’.
In January 2025, I went to Cuba to celebrate my 60th birthday. One day after arriving there, (2 days before my birthday), I met a beautiful blond woman on the beach there, her first name was Jody!
40 days after introducing ourselves to each other, I asked her to be my wife! She not only said yes, but said
“I would have married you the first day I met you!”
8 months and 1 day after meeting for the first time, we were married on her birthday, on August 19, 2025!
(Foot note: our similarities are amazing! I came from NL, left when I was 19 to join the military. Jody grew up in NL, left with her parents to ON when she was 14. My first name is Russell, her last name is Russell. There are many more! When we got married, she decided to keep her maiden name, and also take my surname. She is now Jody Russell-Morgan. She tells people, “I love him so much, I took both of his names!”)
