"Oh Sweet Lorraine"
This is a sweet, sweet story about Fred Stobaugh who is 96 years old. He wrote a song for his wife that she'll never get to hear. Lorraine died in April, they had been together for 73 years.
You might be surprised if we told you that his song is in the Top 10 songs on iTunes and he can't even carry a tune, even he admits that. The song is called "Oh Sweet Lorraine" and this video will make you shed a tear.
"Share" this story as Fred has shared the love of his life with us all.

Here's to 75 years of marriage. I always say the first 25 years are the hardest. So bear with it you young'uns.

Jacob Colban did a magnificent job of singing and writing the music to Fred's Lyrics of Sweet Lorraine.

(297,211 posts)I literally couldn't get to sleep Saturday night.. I stayed up all night(and yes I was on DU) and went to sleep around 1pm.. for two hours. But, then I slept good Sunday night. That was strange.. I have no idea what's going on with me sometimes.
May you soon get in the Baby Zone, she~ Sweet Dreams
