Fifty Years of Love I left the army in April and arrived in this area around two months ago.

I would have stayed at home if there was anybody there worth staying for.

Everyone in my family had already passed away.

Because of this, I felt I could go anywhere to start a new life.

An old friend arranged an apartment for me and that is how I came here.

Upon my arrival, I met my neighbors who were an elderly couple. They had been married for over 50 years.

Day after day, I could hear them arguing through the thin walls.

They would fight about anything and everything, and never had I ever heard them apologize to each other.

It would appear to anyone that they hated each other.

All the other people in the apartment could hear them arguing and said they didn't understand why any couple like them would stay with each other.
