Back in 2022, Emily Hime had a realization—her idea of a romantic love story had been off. She used to picture it like Romeo and Juliet, but then grasped that true romance is about growing old side by side, just as her grandparents did.
When her grandma got cancer, Grandpa stepped up, handling all the household chores to care for her. Every single day, he was right there, soothing her through the illness, and lavishing her with love and kind words, even when she was weak.
Emily was powerfully touched by their profound love and told their story to urge others to pick their life partners thoughtfully.
Their last time together was really moving. Right before Grandma passed away, Grandpa whispered sweet nothings to her. Their love story, which kicked off in their youth, spanned six decades, yet Emily felt even 60 years together wasn’t nearly long enough for them.
In another touching yarn, Dolores and Trent Winstead, married 63 years, demonstrated unshakable devotion and love till the very end.
