  • Had me crying and laughing as well and both at the same time. My wife and I are both in our early 50's and have been married for 32 years. We even dated for 5 years before we married and we have never seen such an accurate depiction of ourselves in a film about two people in love. The man who wrote this must love his wife very much and know true happiness. This was honest and humble. I think I just learned to appreciate life a little more. My wife and I have actually never been happier or more in love than we are today. We also recently found out we will be grandparents soon. So nice to share this life with an Irish Lady. I looked this up because I know the Irish have a way with poetry and my wife is Irish. I hoped to find something good and got more than I could have imagined. Very well done.
  • 2nd beautiful short film ... the 1st was "Love at First Sight" ... both with the message of love and friendship...thank you.
  • Hilariously lovely! I lost my beautiful Sandra in January. We were together 41 years. Hurt is still here, but this helps immensely. Thank you.❤️

    This will be my husband and I one day. We promised to meet in the Aurora Borealis for a final dance. He has been waiting for me the last fourteen years and I cannot wait to see him again. Thank you for sharing this beautiful Ruby with us.
  • This is my blessed parents except Mom was Irish, fun, extroverted, music theater, emotional. Dutch Dad down to earth, reserved college prof & passed 7 yrs before her. Incredible 65 yrs devoted together & I'm sure he said I've been waiting for you, Allie Mae💕

    Awe when will I find such true love ahh next life
  • This film is so beautiful! It made me laugh and cry at the same time. Remembering my Love who sadly passed away 3 years ago. The longer we were married the better it got. He drove me bonkers sometimes but I would never have exchanged him for any other man. He was the Love of my Life and I miss him terribly!!!❤
  • What a gorgeous masterpiece.....love it....thank you for that gift🙏🌞🌞🌞❤❤
  • Crying from laughing and from sadness. What a beautiful movie. My parents are 84 and 81 and i've been trying to prepare myself for their leaving. Thank you for making this movie

    My Mom just passed at 93 years of age. My Dad is 98. Just in time, my sister and I convinced them to be buried in the Veteran’s cemetery.it is beautiful and beautifully maintained. My Dad is having a hard time with Mom’s passing.

    I love the way they talked through the tension. And reminded each other of why they love each other even when they each get it wrong. Gorgeous. I want to build a relationship like this.

    The beauti in this story is beyond any words. I think this is what a perfect marriage looks like.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
  • How sweet, just as it should be, if you have someone you love, cherish the time you have. It's lonely when it's gone.
  • The film was really sweet and nicely directed. The ending was definitely something didn't think of. Good 20 min invested. 👍
  • @catisabiker
    Makes me so sad I am alone. This was how it should be.

    I had no idea the story will take turn like this ! I was just crushing on Leonard badly!So Handsome ! Literally Cant stop crying watching this ! Oh my God ! This was so Beautiful and intense and most emotional thing i ever watched !!!! I m crying Rivers !!!! theres so many thoughts and feelings running in my head which are so Emotional which i cant explain ! I m just thinking when we will die and our loved ones will die and we will meet like ruby and Len and watch our own funeral, we wont be able to interact with our living loved ones while we are watching them in our funeral ! After we die Wont our Soul be so emotional when we will besides our loved ones but not able to interact with them, watching them without our souls presence felt bieng felt by them, and knowing that we are no more in the world where we were born! its heartbreaking thinking about this while watching this ! Len and Ruby talking normally through the tension is so unbelievable and lonely ! The Song and Music in the End cant stop me from Crying! The Piano and ....i go where you go.... This is Genius, Masterpiece, Legendary....never seen something so emotional like this! Actors and Makers of this short films are Genius and soo talented ! Love you Leonard and Ruby ! Love is so Magical, Precious....Love is Everything!❤❤❤❤
