Bill Hassinger and Joanne Blakkan were high school sweethearts who were once sent to the principal’s office for smooching on the bus. 

While the duo parted ways after school, they always kept each other in the back of their minds. Each went on to marry other people and have children, but at 90 and 92 respectively, they are now both widowed. That hasn't stopped them from finding a second chance at love. 

❤️ A happy ending... Bill and Joanne reconnected online before their school's 73rd reunion. They've been inseparable ever since. 

  • “Believe it or not, we’re in love at our age,” Joanna, 92, told People. “I want his hugs and kisses and he feels the same way. It’s just like when we were teenagers.”
