At school, seven-year-old Eric fell in love with his sister's best friend, Elaine. The boy kept it a secret because he was two years younger. However, the mother of the child found out about his feelings, and she forbade him to communicate with the girl because both of them are too young. Lenta.ru.

“I didn't know Eric's mom told him to stop being interested in me,” Helen says. “And I was too young,” adds Eric.

After school, Eric and Elaine lost touch and didn’t communicate for about 60 years. However, everything changed when they discovered each other in social networks.

“If it were not for Facebook, we would never have found each other,” said Eric in a conversation with journalists.
