We've been together over 50 years, and all that time shunned and ostracized by nearly everyone. But that doesn't matter a wit to us. We have kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. And we seem to fall more deeply in love with each passing day. The way I see it, everyone should be so lucky!

Very few are so lucky as the narrator is, Bobby. Long live the romance!

A good lesson to not pigeonhole people. A warm story that prods us to explore our own prejudices.

Precious gems are often found in ordinary places. It just takes the right prospector.
