She said she stumbled upon Ganaye's brother who said his sister remembered the American soldier.   Vahramian said it took a bit of persuading to get Ganaye to see Robbins again but she 'needed time to know if she wanted to meet with him again,' " Vahramian said. "It took me a few days to convince because she was afraid of the others' opinions and to be misjudged." Vahramian and Ganaye's nurse convinced her to see Robbins the two lovebirds finally embraced again.  "Imagine seeing somebody 75 years after you met her and when you see her the love is right there again," Robbins said The reunited sweethearts spent about two hours together at the nursing home where Ganaye lives and talked about how their love for each other never went away.  Robbins had to return to the United States but they said it would not be the last time they saw each other.  Now a team is dedicated to keeping Robbins and Ganaye connected Vahramian and Hight are working to set up emails or video calls between the two Hight is in the process of getting a computer for Robbins and Vahramian has offered to translate emails between the two — Robbins speaks only English (Robbins said their language barrier was not an issue back in the '40s: "I spoke enough French to get by but with a lot of hand motions and make outs we could make it by all right.") Their love story has caught the attention of people around the world including a Las Vegas businessman who wants to fund Ganaye's trip to visit Robbins in Mississippi owner of Ballistic & Explosive Detection Dogs found the story so moving that he requested to pay for Ganaye's trip.  Cordova said the story reminded him of his late father "The story struck some personal chords," Cordova said Some people give to the Red Cross and give blood but this is just something that I do."  Robbins said he invited Ganaye and her family to stay with him in Mississippi and promised to show them "a good time." "I told her family to bring her over here," Robbins said and we'll get to enjoy each other for a while we'll take them to Elvis — got to take them to Graceland."
