A Lonely Goose Finds New Love

At Riverside Cemetery in Iowa, a special matchmaking effort has led to a heartwarming love story between two feathered friends.

Blossom, the cemetery's resident goose, lost her partner Bud and was showing clear signs of grief. Staff noticed she spent entire days staring at her reflection in headstones and the office door - a behavior geese display when they're feeling lonely. The cemetery team even set up a mirror to comfort her during this difficult time.

A Personal Ad That Changed Everything

Determined to help Blossom find happiness again, the cemetery staff took an unusual step - they placed a personal ad for her. The advertisement read: "Lonely widow domestic goose seeks life partner for companionship and occasional shenanigans."

Their creative approach worked! A local couple responded to the ad, offering their own widowed male goose as a potential match for Blossom.

A Valentine's Day Meeting

The two geese were introduced on Valentine's Day last year - a perfect date for a potential love match. Luckily, Blossom and her new friend Frankie connected right away.

The cemetery began sharing updates about the new couple's activities, including romantic lake outings and walks around the park. Fans of the goose couple enjoyed seeing their blossoming relationship unfold.

Where Are They Now?

After regular updates about the feathered couple, the cemetery's social media posts suddenly stopped about a year ago. This silence left many followers concerned about what might have happened to Blossom and Frankie.

Fortunately, the cemetery recently broke their silence with good news. Last week, they posted an update confirming that Frankie and Blossom are both safe and happy together.

This story shows how the compassionate staff at Riverside Cemetery went above and beyond to ensure the happiness of their feathered resident. Their creative solution not only helped Blossom overcome her loneliness but also brought joy to community members who followed this unusual love story.
