Hungarian woman finds her love on Facebook after 60 years

The 69-year-old Mary lives is Australia. She fell in love with László in the 1950s but life has swept them away from each other.

Szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu writes that they fell in love in primary school, but the real calf-love didn’t have a sequel. Life interposed. Now, at the age of 69, she was able to meet him again thanks to Facebook.

Their story started 60 years ago: “In the 1950s we moved to my parents’ home village near Danube. I was only 5 years old and very bored so I went to nursery school because I was curious about what kids do there. There was a boy, Laci, who smiled at me right away and I really liked that. I didn’t tell anyone, but I knew that I fell in love with him.” writes the Australian That’s Life! magazine who discovered this special story.

Mary Darley and László Madaras went to school in Solt. They were already a couple back then, but Mary and her family moved to Budapest and she could only go back to Solt in the summer breaks. When she asked about the boy, his cousins told her that he had gone on vacation.

After university, Mary married but later divorced. Then she met an Australian man who she married and moved to Australia with him. This relationship also ended in a divorce. For a few years she lived in Hungary but then returned to Australia with her son.
