Naomi and Jack met as children in the 1940s in Greenacres, FL. They were like high school sweethearts from the start, two kids who were madly in love. But when Naomi learned her family was picking up and moving to Arizona, she was crushed. Leaving Jack was the last thing she wanted to do. Jack even drove to Arizona to search for Naomi, but she was out of town. Her parents, however, were home. Naomi's mother kept Jack's visit a secret; she knew if Naomi found out he came to find her, there was a good chance her daughter would choose the relationship over college.
One day, Naomi's mom finally told her about Jack's unexpected visit — but it was too late. Jack was gone. So, Naomi decided to get on with her life. She went to college, got married, and had two kids. 58 years passed by, but Naomi never forgot about Jack, and Jack never forgot about Naomi.
Naomi's husband eventually passed away. Now a widow, she used Google to track down Jack's name and address on a whim — and what happened next is truly the stuff of fairytales.
