This is the fifth year in a row that the stork, named Rodan, has made the journey from Africa to return to his handicapped mate in Croatia.

ZAGREB, March 25, 2010 (AFP) - A male stork proved once again that distance is no bar to true love as it flew thousands of kilometres (miles) back to its handicapped mate in a Croatian village, local media said Thursday.

This is the fifth year in a row that the stork, named Rodan, has made the epic journey of some 13,000 kilometers (8,060 miles) from South Africa to the village of Brodski Varos, in eastern Croatia, the Jutarnji List daily reported.

"This year he came a bit earlier," Stjepan Vokic, who cares for the female stork, named Malena, unable to fly since hunters shot through its wing, told the paper.

Rodan looked rather exhausted, Vokic added.

Every year the couple has raised a brood of chicks which Rodan has taught to fly since Malena cannot, Vokic said. This year is expected to be no different.

In August, Rodan and the young will start to prepare for their long journey to winter in South Africa while Malena remains in Brodski Varos until the return of its mate in the spring.

A British couple, who rekindled their romance when they met on social networking site Facebook 27 years after they split, have tied the knot.



Paul Eaton first fell for Dawn Pitman when he stayed at a bed and breakfast facility in the early 1980s; the pair -then 29 and 21 - split after 18 months as she wasn't ready for commitment.

Paul married and had two sons, but divorced. He joined Facebook, entered Dawn's name and "hoped for the best". Up came holiday snaps of his old flame. The pair got together in 2008 and married two days back in her home town of Exmouth, 'The Sun' reported.

Paul, 56, of Barnsley, said: "It was a bit scary when I contacted her. I just asked her if she remembered me."

Dawn, 48, who has a 21-year-old son, added: "I knew he was the man for me from day one."

A thought we shared
A life we lived
A love we had together
Good Times

Bad Times
Nothing lasts forever
A Broken Heart
A tear i shed
Love can have much pain

For knowing you
For loving U
So much i have Gained
God's Fairest child

An Angel i have known
My soul you have touched
Good bye my darling
It's over but always remember
I HAD LOVED YOU SO VERY MUCH.


I HAD LOVED YOU SO VERY MUCH.

You're One-In-A-Million


Your soundless voice talks to me across the miles,
We dream together and laugh and smile,
We share our thoughts as tears spill,
'Though we've never met and never will.
You've touched my life in countless ways,
To such a special friend I must say,



"Thanks for being there for me,
For your loving heart and your honesty,
Thanks for being a caring friend,
For all the messages that you send,
Thanks for letting me in your world too,
But most of all thanks for being you!"
Thanks for being a one-in-a-million friend !

Forever yours

There is nothing in the world as great as thee,
that makes me believe in what I see,
I want to be with you all the time,
and make you see that you are mine.

we belong together in the stars of the night,
that I see all the time in your eyes.
what would i do without you,
It makes me decide that i would be through.

do not leave me alone, do not leave me be
but what do I do if you are not here
I cannot not believe and I cannot persist,
you are the one I just can not resist.

I am forever yours...
