True Love

The grandfather of a good friend of ours passed away last Friday. He was is his nineties. The amazing part of the story follows. I received this email from our friend's wife:

As y'all know, Dan's grandfather passed away on Friday morning, somewhat unexpectedly. By Saturday, his wife of 69 years died of what can only be described as a broken heart. It was the first day they had ever been apart. They were buried together today. A love story for the ages.

Brought tears to my eyes and goosebumps all over. I can only hope that Scott and I go in a similar way, when we are very old and grey, of course. What an amazing ending to a lifetime together.

This story confirms my faith in true love and soul mates. That will be us - maybe we will have our house figured out by then.
