Old Lady Divorces Husband of 63 Years When Young Man Who Looks Like Him Appears at Their House – Story of the Day
Margaret and Paul had been together for 63 years. One day, a man named Mike came looking for Paul. He looked uncannily like him and had a shocking story to tell. Margaret was stunned and made a surprising decision.
