We all know the saying: "True love knows no bounds." This means that, to truly love a person, we must be willing to do anything and everything possible to make them happy — no matter how utterly absurd.
And this boundless love can take many forms, all special and touching in their own way — like this dad who so loved his new baby boy, he tore apart his ceiling.
But of all the grand gestures of love I've ever seen, the story of David and Jackie Pedlow has to be my absolute favorite.
For over three decades, this pair indulged in Jackie's favorite brand of coffee. But when their coffee supply ran dangerously low, David decided to do something pretty drastic and completely unexpected for his wife…
They spoke to the Plymouth Herald about their story, and left me speechless.

David and Jackie Pedlow of Plymouth, England, have been drinking the same brand of coffee for 35 years. Decades ago, they had their first ever cups of Grand Mère coffee on their holiday in France.
Recently, their coffee stock ran out. Unluckily for them, this brand of coffee is only sold in France. So, David thought of doing something absolutely unexpected. He decided to take his new electric bike for a ride…
…across the English Channel! First, he hopped on the Brittany Ferry to cross the Channel.
Once he arrived at Roscoff, in northwestern France, he cycled for over 10 miles along the coast.
“Cycling in France is absolutely marvelous, as the drivers are so careful. It really is a joy,” David told the Plymouth Herald.
After stopping at the Super U hypermarket and buying up 66 lbs of the coffee, David turned around and cycled back to catch the ferry going home. All in all, he traveled roughly 250 miles that day.
“It’s a very basic coffee, which I suspect is why they don’t bring it over here,” said David. “It isn’t posh, but it’s the flavor that Jackie really likes.”
Jackie, interestingly, wasn’t surprised at all that her husband would cross the Channel for her. “I expected he might do it, as we are experimenting with living without a car,” she said, referring to their old, broken-down car.
But she was ecstatic upon his return. “I didn’t go with him because I’m not a good traveler, particularly on the sea,” she said.
