February 14, 2025

Today's good news story comes from Glasgow, Scotland.

Love knows no language, and for Jimmy and Ingrid Campbell, that truth has defined their extraordinary journey together.

The couple, who first met 70 years ago in Germany, recently celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary—along with Jimmy’s 95th birthday—at the HC-One care home, surrounded by family and friends.

Their love story began at the Winterberg ski resort, where Jimmy was stationed with the army. At the time, he spoke only a handful of German words, while Ingrid didn’t speak English at all. But their connection transcended words, and a year later, Ingrid followed Jimmy home to Scotland, where they began their life together.

Through nearly seven decades of marriage, they built a beautiful family with two daughters and five grandchildren.

Reflecting on their lifelong bond, Ingrid shared, “Jimmy and I have always been best friends, and we share everything – the good and the bad. We are very compatible, and we have stayed as much in love now as when we first met.”

To mark their milestone anniversary, the care home organized a special celebration with balloons, banners, homemade cakes, cupcakes, chocolates, flowers, and prosecco. It was a joyful tribute to a love story that defied all odds and proved that true love doesn’t need translation—it simply speaks from the heart.
