I love that story, 2BNTV. Such a beautiful love story. I'm glad you added the nursing home part. It really defines the love, doesn't it? I had a friend whose father was 93 and put into a nursing home after an illness he couldn't recover from. Her mother had Alzheimer's and he had always tended to her. When he went into the nursing home, the family put her in too.
They didn't have a room for the two of them to sleep in together. The old couple was distraught. Especially, his wife. My friend tried everything to get them a room together to no avail. Finally, her mother settled the matter. Every morning the nursing staff found her in the twin bed curled up beside her husband. She refused to sleep in another room. They finally gave up and let her sleep with him.
