I like stories like this but we need a new category instead of 'Strange'.

Here's another one...
My grandmother died at age 85 and was buried the day my grandfather turned 86.
My grandfather died 3 months later and was buried the day my grandmother would have turned 86.

They celebrated 66 years of marriage earlier that year.
They have 13 children and 54 grandchildren.

Good point but what catagory should be added for stories along this line?

Wow 54 grandkids!

Yup, that means 52 cousins for me on that side of the family.
I have 18 more on my mother's side.

I'm open for suggestions.
Strangely enough, I find these stories have a 'warm/fuzzy' feel to them when you get past the death part, especially when you consider the age.
...I'm sorry but I'm having trouble explaining how these stories affect me.

i understand your frustration with the news headings. i too have struggled when the topics that interested me did not "FIT" into any of the categories besides that of Misc Canadian. Trevor added "lifestyle" at my suggestion. What else do you think is missing here?
