48 Year old Man Deeply in Love With Grandfather's Widow

 A 48 year old Estonian male identified as Mark Soeson, has pleaded with Australian authorities to grant him permanent residency to he can be close to the love of his life. The love of Mark Soeson's life happens to his grandfather's 103 year old widow, Elfriede Ritt, with whom he has been in a relationship since 2013. Elfriede Ritt who is set to turn 104 years old this February,  lived with Mark Soeston from 2013 until 2022 when she was forced to move to a nursing home in Australia, hence his desire to obtain permanent residency in the country. Elfriede Ritt is the second wife turned widow of Mark's grandfather and Mark has stated that despite the 55 year age difference between him and his grandfather's widow, their relationship started slowly and turned into "a very loving and meaningful relationship". The lovebirds first met in 1996 when Mark travelled to Australia to study in English and she was at the time, grieving his grandfather's death.
