As Tom Hanks celebrated his 68th birthday, his wife of 36 years, Rita Wilson, took to Instagram with a heartfelt tribute. She shared a touching post featuring a recent photo of Hanks standing proudly in front of an impressive record collection and vintage record player.
The Forrest Gump star was showered with love from his wife. Rita Wilson, 67, marked his special day with a sweet and loving message on Instagram.
“🌸🎂🎊 Happy Birthday to my love! 🎊🎂🌸 You made the world a better place the day you were born. You bring joy wherever you go. You are the bringer of laughs, a lover of vehicles, or pretty much anything, shaped like a round bath tub. The bookshelves in our house shout from their bindings your love of history and the unexpectedly romantic Maeve Binchy,” she wrote.
“You get as much pleasure from recording your radio show @bossradio66 as you do from listening to any kind of surf music on vinyl. @tcm is your go to channel any time of day or night. Your patience for our kids harassing you about your ignorance of pop culture is admirable. We love you. I love you. So much and every day. 🌸💕🌸,” Rita added.
Tom Hanks was flooded with birthday wishes and compliments, showing just how much love and respect he’s earned over the years. Along with fans, plenty of celebrities chimed in to celebrate, including Julia Roberts. The actress, who worked with Hanks on Larry Crowne, left a sweet message in the comments of Rita Wilson’s post. “Yes! Happy Birthday Tom,” wrote Roberts. “So happy you were born.”
But also, fans showered the actor with comments like: “The coolest man alive,” one fan wrote. Another appreciated Rita’s tribute to her husband, “Happy Birthday Tom! What a sweet and loving wish from your beautiful wife. May you have many more incredible years ahead of you and thanks for sharing your talent/art with all of us, your adoring fans.” And also, “He truly is a gift to the world…as are you, Rita!”
However, many people online noticed a slight change in the appearance of the actor, which is normal given that he had just turned 68 with one user stating, “I cannot believe he is almost in his 70s,” surprised by the actor’s age. Another wrote, “I would have sworn he was older! Not because he looks or acts it particularly but it just feels like he’s been around forever.”
Rita paid a sweet tribute to her husband a few months ago when they celebrated their 36th anniversary.
High schooler takes grandma to prom after she missed out in 1961
High school is a time filled with memorable events such as homecoming dances, proms, and graduations.
For Josephine from Camarillo, California, her high school experience ended before she had the chance to go to prom, all the way back in 1961.
However, her grandson, Michael Ganczewski, decided to turn this missed opportunity into a cherished memory during his own senior prom.
Learning that his grandmother never attended her prom due to financial constraints, Ganczewski saw an opportunity to give her a magical night. Just two weeks before his own senior prom and without a date, he realized he could create the experience of a lifetime for his beloved nana.
When Ganczewski asked Josephine to be his prom date, she initially declined, telling her grandson that she was just grateful for feeling loved on Mother’s Day weekend.
Though, undeterred, Ganczewski convinced her, and on the day of the prom, Josephine sported a beautiful dress and a corsage. Worried about her dancing skills, she soon discovered that the night’s joy was simply about being with her grandson.
In an interview with CBS Los Angeles, Ganczewski expressed his love for his grandmother. “She is the most important woman in my life. If it wasn’t for her, my mom wouldn’t be here, and she wouldn’t have had me. And I love her, and I’d do anything for her,” he said.
Josephine then spoke about how she responded to her grandson’s proposal initially: “I said I’m an old lady. I’m not going to the prom.” She thought Ganczewski, being a handsome young man, would have numerous date options. However, he insisted she was his one and only choice.
Admitted she wasn’t too familiar with this generation’s latest dance trends, Josephine said: “Well, I don’t know any new dances, but I plan to do my best.” Her grandson’s desire to make her feel special touched her deeply, as she remarked: “For the rest of my life, however long that is, I will never forget that he wanted to bring his Nana and show me a good time. That to me is very special.”
As if the gesture itself wasn’t heartwarming enough, Josephine’s prom night ended with an unexpected surprise – Josephine was crowned prom queen, fulfilling a dream she had waited for since 1961.
This marvellous night, filled with love and joy, just showed the importance of the bond between a grandson and his grandmother.
