85-year-olds divorced for nearly 50 years give it another go

7/31/2012

Elderly people hooking up is always adorable, but Lena Henderson and Roland Davis’ love story is particularly touching. The couple married as teenagers, had four kids together, then divorced in 1964. Davis remarried and moved to Colorado Springs, but he stayed in close touch with his ex, who often gave his new wife advice on "how to deal with him." After Davis’ second wife died recently, he re-proposed to Henderson and flew to her home near Buffalo, NY, with an engagement ring pinned to his shirt. We’re thinking they did it for the kids. "I don't know of a child that does not want their parents to be together forever," their youngest daughter, Renita Chadwick, gushes. [Source]
