This video captures the kind of love that we
all hope for. As 93-year-old Laura lies in a hospital bed, moments from death,
her husband, Howard, stands over her. And the two only have eyes for each
other.
Howard and Laura had been married for 73 years.
You can tell from the way they look at each other and whisper “I love you” to
one another over and over again… This is a special love.
Someone puts on Alice Faye’s “You’ll Never Know.” Their song.
Howard bends over Laura and spends his final
moments with her singing their song. He gently strokes her face and starts to
cry as he sings these words to his dying wife:
“You’ll never know just how much I miss you.
You’ll never know just how much I care.
And if I tried, I still couldn’t hide my love
for you.
You ought to know, for haven’t I told you so
A million or more times?”
Even in this moment, Laura and Howard still
have the humor that must have gotten them through 73 years of marriage: “Isn’t
he sweet?” Laura laughs. “He likes me!”
The song ends and Howard bends over and gives
her a kiss. “You’re mine,” he says. “You’re mine,” she says back.
Watch below and share this special moment of love.
