Tonight on ABC News, Diane Sawyer presented us with a beautiful song, written by a 96 year old man for his wife, Lorraine. It has reached number 5 on iTunes this week and was after his wife died just recently. Fred Stobaugh was chosen Person of the Week by ABC News and his song has been heard over 4,000,000 times now!
Fred was interviewed and shared that he met his wife back in 1930, where she was a car-hop at A and W Root beer drive-in. She brought the food out on a tray to the cars and he says he fell in love with her the first time he saw her. When she passed away a few months ago, he took out paper and pencil and wrote a love poem to her. About the same time, he heard on the radio about a contest for love songs and decided to send his in, with a note saying that he was not a singer, but could give someone who is, a good idea of how it would go.
Just watch this touching video to see exactly how this love story played out! After Wife’s Death, Fred Stobaugh, 96, Writes Love Song
