Woman Discovers Loving Message From Previous Owner While Carrying Out Renovations

A couple renovating their first home together received a beautiful surprise when they discovered a giant love note from the previous owner to his wife, hidden for more than 40 years, while they were removing wallpaper. Couple Farrah and Phillip love being busy, so when looking to buy their first home together, they decided to opt for a property that needed a little work. Having found their ideal home, the couple wrote a letter to the owner, explaining why they were the perfect pair to take over the property. It was then owned by an elderly lady named Frankie and, previously, her late husband, Patrick, who spent more than four decades together in the house. Though she and Phillip were not the highest bidders, Farrah said, the seller decided to pick them. The pair lived in the home for around a year before starting their big renovation project, which they planned to document on social media. One day, while stripping wallpaper, Farrah came across the start of a significant message she noticed was written on the plaster wall beneath. Excited to see what the words would reveal, the 30-year-old set up her camera on a timelapse so that she could record the message as it became increasingly visible. Farrah hoped to show the previous owner, Frankie, an image or video of the wall at a later date. Having removed all the wallpaper, Farrah was left looking at a beautiful message: "Frankie. I Love U. Pat." The moment took place on October 22, 2023, and Farrah said she later sent a letter to Frankie, in which was a note and a photo of the wall she had unveiled.
