A love story for the ages: After 70 years of marriage, this devoted couple passed away on the same day, holding hands for the last time. The photo of this old couple’s last moment at the hospital will touch your heart to tears.
I had no idea that such stories exist in reality. To tears…
This touching photo was taken in the hospital, where the elderly couple were able to briefly meet after several weeks of separation. The story of this couple is no less touching.
Margaret and Derek Firth fell in love when they were both just 14 years old. It’s clear that none of the adults believed in the seriousness of the feelings of the two schoolchildren. However, the teenagers grew up, but their feelings remained the same. Having reached adulthood, Margaret and Derek got married.
Margaret worked in school most of her life, while Derek made his living as a butcher. The couple lived very amicably, the couple raised five children, saw the birth of 11 grandchildren and even 4 great-grandchildren.
Margaret and Derek celebrated their 91st birthday last year. And in January of this year, an elderly couple was hospitalized with a suspected coronavirus infection… For the first few weeks, Margaret and Derek were in different hospitals, but they were very sad, because the spouses were never separated for long. Eventually the doctors allowed them to see each other. It was at this moment that the daughter of an elderly couple took this incredibly emotional photo.
Unfortunately, Derek soon became worse and a few days later the man passed away. Margaret seemed to be on the mend, but she seemed to feel that her beloved husband was no longer there. Literally a few hours later, the woman was also gone… The couple, who had lived together for more than 70 years, and now could not separate and left together on the same day.
