I’ll come back and explain for those who can’t watch.

It’s later and I’m back.

The above video is from the CBS Sunday Morning Show.
CBS was the network of my childhood and most of the years until the internet came.
It had Walter Cronkite and Eric Severeid (I guessed at how to spell his name - I might check later) and a whole crew of super good newsmen from covering WWII with Edward R. Morrow. David Schonbruin and Richard Hotelett and there were two brothers whom I can almost see but not quite.
This Sunday Morning Show might have started in the 70s or 80s. It’s an hour and a half, starting at 8 am my time. One of the lovely things was the scenery behind the ending credits. It was just a good show. It’s had great hosts and correspondence. The current main host is Jane Pauley who interestingly enough has been married to Doonesbury cartoonist Gary Trudeau for 43 years. (I looked that up.)
I haven’t watched the show at all since my husband died in 2001 or maybe 2002 because that’s when we gave up tv. I know it’s still there and I accidentally found the link above on Youtube.
It looks to me like a compilation of a decade’s feel good clips of love stories. They are all sweet and optimistic and would make an easy crier really cry and a hard cryer think about it.

There are two goose love stories - honest there are. One is set in Iowa and there is a cute little Iowa joke in it about how easy it is
to find a replacement goose husband in Iowa. The are two stories about couples with Down’s syndrome. There is an interracial story. There are a number of memory loss stories. Every single on of the stories has a happy happening… not so much in a sappy way, as in a life is good way.

I appreciate how stories were made and how they were gathered here together. I think I saw another similar collection on Youtube. I watched this twice - once by myself and once with my son.

Wishing us all a happy Valentine’s Day. Some of us have significant others, some of us don’t. But I bet each of us has a love story of our own tucked away somewhere.
