96-Year-Old Man Gets a Love Letter From His Late Wife

Melissa Fahy and her father Alan Cook were renovating their Westfield, New Jersey home, when they found an old typed letter. It was a heart love note addressed to a man named Rolf Christoffersen from May 4th, 1945, written by Rolf’s wife Virginia. During that time, Rolf was deployed in the Norwegian Navy.

The heart-wrenching letter touched Melissa very much, so she decided to hand over it to the proper recipient. She did some internet search and found Rolf’s son living in Santa Barbara, California with his 96-year-old father. The Christoffersen family was overwhelmed with joy when they received the 72 years old treasure and they thanked Melissa for the compassionate gesture.

Verse of the Day

“And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.”

Luke 2:16-20
