The Moment My Parents Fell In Love With Helaine

My mother looked at Helaine. She smiled. The deal had been sealed. It was now out of my control.

My parents used to live in Apartment 5E at 65-43 Parsons Blvd. in Flushing. It was tiny. One day, pre-marriage, Helaine and I drove in to visit.

I was in the living room watching TV when I decided I wanted a piece of fruit. I got up, walked to the kitchen, chose my peach and headed back.

Five steps in I stopped.

I turned around.

Ten seconds later I was back out of the kitchen, now with a napkin.

Harold And Betty – How We Met

More than anything I’ve ever produced I am proud of this video because I think it captures my parents true love, even after 60+ years of marriage.

This was originally on my blog’s old site, but with the change of structure it needs a newly defined home.

This video was made about four years ago at my parent’s condo in Florida. I asked them separately to tell me how they met. Some of the story I knew. Much of it I did not.
