Granddaughter captures the powerful last moments of grandparents’ 60-year love story
Others may instead relish in the fact that they are a testimony to a very strong love that existed on Earth.
Emily Hime, who is the granddaughter, of the couple in the photos says it is a snapshot of “something beautiful.” The beauty of unconditional love.
The viral photos of her grandparents embracing as her grandmother lies in her hospice bed were posted on Chathan-Kent Hospice’s Facebook page as “a special message of love.”
The photos were posted along with a post written by Hime.
“During the last few months of my Grandma’s life I was blessed to witness something beautiful. And that was the unconditional love between my grandparents,” Hime wrote.
Hime’s family used to joke about grandpa not being able to survive without grandma since she did everything for him.
But those roles reversed toward the end of her life.
It was a big adjustment for grandpa. He had to learn how to regularly do things that he hadn’t done before.
“Through this, I have realized that the most romantic love story isn’t Romeo and Juliet.. but it’s grandma and grandpa who grew old together. It’s grandpa sticking by grandma’s side during the most difficult period of her life,” Hime wrote.
