The woman in the photo is dead. However, what lies beneath the essence of this photo will strike you to the core. The woman’s husband lay beside her until her last breath and whispered in her ear: ‘You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.’ This love story will leave no one indifferent. Frankly speaking, it can outshine Romeo and Juliet with its soulfulness. Read it and be convinced that true love exists.
Such sincere and strong feelings, even death could not destroy. During their lifetime, there was a very strong bond between the spouses, because they loved each other for decades. These photos were taken by their granddaughter. For her it is now a memorable thing that has great significance.
These are Emily’s last photos of her grandparents together. Despite the woman’s serious condition, she is hugging and kissing her husband. The couple are lying together in a hospital bed and trying to come to terms with the fact that they will be separated.
For the rest of his life, Emily’s grandfather was as faithful to his wife as she was to him. They loved each other in a way that words cannot describe. The lovers were married for more than 60 years. They promised to be together for better and for worse – and they kept their promise until their last breath.
Emily is happy that she was one of the few people who could witness the unconditional love of her close relatives. She says her grandparents’ marriage has always been an example to her of the perfect family.
At family celebrations when her grandmother was still alive, relatives often joked that her grandfather would not be able to live without his wife, because everything was based on her. However, he had to pull himself together and learn to do all the household chores. While she was in the hospital, he did not leave her bed. He supported his beloved woman in every possible way and hoped that she would cope with her illness.
He visited all the doctors with her, went for check-ups and kept his hand on her. Even during chemotherapy, he was there for her so that she would not feel scared and lonely. The woman was drowning in her husband’s love and care. Emily watched with tears in her eyes.
As their granddaughter points out, she realised that Romeo and Juliet’s love story was nothing compared to the way her grandparents loved each other. They faced old age together and lived in love until their last breath. In the most difficult moments they were together, but unfortunately death separated them.
