Man Can't Let Go of Dying Wife's Hand
This real-life love story is one for the ages: After 77 years of marriage, a 100-year-old man held the hand of his dying wife, who was 96, until the very end.
Their story went viral when Reddit user (and the couple's granddaughter) RealLiveGirl shared this beautiful photo of the couple. Covered in blankets and curled up side-by-side in hospital beds, the duo has struck a chord with many, showing us what it truly means to grow old together.
Although the image is certainly heartbreaking, one commenter found the beauty in the couple's final moments and wrote: "Sorry for your loss. But what a 'great' way to go. Holding hands with your spouse, in a warm bed, presumably with loved ones around. Sympathy to your Grandfather who lost his lifelong wife. God bless all around."
Now, excuse us while we dry our tears.
