A Belgian grandmother has now started researching her former boyfriend, a love forbidden for 50 years.

Josiah Van Caeyveld was a teenager when she met Peter Baker in a coffee shop in Cortrik, writes Dailymail, followed Periscope.

The former American soldier has been a few years older than Josiah. Meanwhile, Belgian grandmother for 50 years has kept a picture of him taken for a long time.

And when Peter returned to England, they exchanged messages. As Josiah's letters were translated by a schoolmate at the same time and by neighbor.

But their relationship ended when Josiah's parents wrote to Peter that there would never be anything between a Protestant British and a Catholic girl.

Then Josiah married a boy named Henry Parmenteer as they had a happy marriage for 50 years.

Despite that, Josiah still wants his first love for Peter. Her niece, Isabel Bruneel, has started a campaign in social media to find her.

I was in my grandmother's house and as I looked at old pictures, I found someone I had never seen before. It was the picture of Grandma's first boyfriend. It was forbidden love. He was Protestant, and Grandma's mother stopped it. They've exchanged love letters to each other, which a neighbor has translated. It's just a beautiful love story”, he wrote his niece.

Meanwhile Josiah has declared: “after almost 50 years, I am still happy with my husband, but I still want to know what happened to my Petr. He worked at the battalion in Ranst, but he also went to Cortrikik”, she confessed.

Their love, the exits to the city cafes have lasted for a year, and after that they have only exchanged paper among themselves.

I fell in love, but my parents stopped me. And then, normally, your parents had to be heard”, Josiah says.

Furthermore, Josiah shows that it has been difficult to confess to her husband that he wants to regain his first love.

“S first gave me a brief answer. But I made it clear to Henry that he should not fear for anything. I just want to know what happened to Peter, because it's just left in my mind”, confesss Josiah. /Periscopi
