Elderly man secretly filmed while he waits for wife with flowers at the airport

We know that True love never dies. But it also doesn’t grow dull either. At least, that’s the case with Bernard Mills and his wife Carolyn Ogden.

The burning flame of their love has warmed the hearts of millions on the internet after the couple was filmed together at an airport.

The video shows the 80-year-old waiting for his wife to get off of the plane with a box of chocolates and roses in hand.

“We’re always finding ways to show that we love each other,” Mills told ABC News.

The couple met on eHarmony in 2007 after they both lost their spouses of almost 50 years.

“We had one date, but then she fell into a relationship with someone else and that she didn’t want to hear from me anymore,” Mills said. “But a few months later, just before Christmas, I got a card with Carol’s name, phone number, and address. I thought, ‘Hey, maybe we can be friends,’ but it turned out she wasn’t in a relationship anymore, so I got lucky.”

The two started exchanging emails and phone calls and spending lots of time together.

Mills didn’t mind making the long drive to see her.

“I was in love with her from the very beginning,” he said. “We went to church together and started doing everything together, and I loved it, and I guess she did too.”

Mills even serenaded his wife at their wedding in August 2008.

They collectively have seven children, 15 grandchildren, and two great-grandsons.

Valerie Jane was struck by how sweet Mills looked waiting for his wife with presents in hand at LAX in L.A. So, she started recording him unbeknownst to Mills.

“As I was waiting to get onto the bus at Van Nuys Flyaway, I notice this old man standing with roses and chocolates in his hand waiting for his wife to come from the airport. This shows the epitome of love. My heart melted and it showed me that this kind of love exists. Hopefully, these two lovely people who are in the video can see this,” Jane wrote in the video’s caption.

The video shows Mills looking around to see if he can spot his wife getting off of the plane.

Just the sight of him standing there with a box of chocolates and flowers was bringing joy to others around him.

Someone spoke to him and made him laugh. Then he gave the flowers a sniff and went back to waiting.

His face broke out into a big smile when he finally spotted his wife.

He planted a huge kiss on her and gave her a great big hug.

Then he went in for a second smooch. And then a third. He must have really missed her!

“We’re always very aware of each other’s needs and desires,” “I always try to do things she likes, and she does likewise. Sometimes, I’ll hug and kiss her in the kitchen unexpectedly, or while I’m watching TV, I’ll get up to surprise and kiss her. Before sleeping, I always make sure to kiss her goodnight and tell her I love her.”
