<\/p>\n\u201cDuring the last few months of my grandma\u2019s life, I was blessed to witness something beautiful.<\/p>\n
And that was the unconditional love between my grandparents.<\/p>\n
We used to tease my grandpa and say that my grandma did EVERYTHING and he couldn\u2019t survive without her.<\/p>\n
But roles were reversed this past year.<\/p>\n
Through this, I have realized that the most romantic love story isn\u2019t Romeo and Juliet\u2026<\/p>\n
But it\u2019s grandma and grandpa who grew old together.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s grandpa sticking by grandma\u2019s side during the most difficult period of her life.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s him learning to prepare meals, do laundry, and cook for her as she went through 6 rounds of chemotherapy.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s grandpa holding her hand.<\/p>\n
Attending every doctor appointment.<\/p>\n
Not leaving the house unless someone took his place as he didn\u2019t want her sitting alone, even for a few minutes.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the staff at the hospital awing over his devotion and saying how everyone loved watching them together, including people sitting in the waiting rooms.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s him being by her side every single day while she was hospitalized and every day while she remained in hospice.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s him calling me up asking me to help him make signs and decorate the house because he thought she was coming home soon.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s him rubbing her face, kissing her forehead, and holding her hand every moment he could.<\/p>\n
Soaking it all in.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s his eyes welling up with tears each moment he felt that she might be uncomfortable because he couldn\u2019t stand the thought of her being in pain.<\/p>\n
\u2018She\u2019s more beautiful than ever. Doesn\u2019t she look so pretty?\u2019 he\u2019d say.<\/p>\n
After multiple strokes and as her body grew frail and weak.<\/p>\n
He continued to tell her how beautiful she was EVERY single day.<\/p>\n
They had that kind of forever love, the love we all aspire for.<\/p>\n
They would have been married 60 years next month, and yet, 60 years still wouldn\u2019t have been enough.<\/p>\n
\u2018Oh you\u2019re so precious, goodnight my honey,\u2019 are the last words he spoke to her.<\/p>\n
Watching the way he loved her is such an incredible reminder to choose wisely.<\/p>\n
Choose someone who will still be your absolute best friend 60 years down the road.<\/p>\n
Who will still be holding your hand during the best of times, but most importantly during the worst of times.<\/p>\n
Someone who isn\u2019t embarrassed or shy to express their love.<\/p>\n
Who proudly says, \u2018She\u2019s the most beautiful thing and I love her so much,\u2019 in a room full of people.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s love.<\/p>\n
They met at a cycling club in England in their 20\u2019s and I think it\u2019s safe to say that they ran the most important race together.<\/p>\n
They cycled like hell and pushed through all of the uphill climbs that life threw at them.<\/p>\n
They never gave up on being each other\u2019s teammates and took turns cheering each other on when one of them felt tired or defeated.<\/p>\n
They won the greatest race of all, a life full of love together.<\/p>\n
And what a blessing it\u2019s been to watch this beautiful love story and to be able to capture one of their last precious moments together.\u201d<\/p>\n
