Moments before this video began, when Grandma heard that Grandpa was in the room, she asked if she could hold him. Grandpa cannot stand on his own, but he immediately pulled his wheelchair close to her bed ready to make it happen. My cousin, Serena, who is a physical therapist, helped him to his feet and held him up throughout the entire song.
You might notice above her bed there is a sign that says, “Patient Blind.” That is because she has macular degeneration, so she cannot see much of anything but shadows and light. That doesn’t stop her from looking deep into her love’s eyes. Grandpa, on the other hand, has lost most of his hearing, so you’ll notice us repeating things for him since Grandma is to weak to raise her voice.
The song used in the video is “You’ll Never Know” performed by Rosemary Clooney with Harry James. Our family prefers this version because everyone always said Grandma had a voice just like Rosemary Clooney.
After posting this video to Facebook, it began to go viral and all the outpouring of love lifted everyone's spirits... including Grandma's! They originally gave her just a week to live, but hospice eventually deemed her well enough to go back home to live out her remaining days. As of this posting my beautiful Grandma Laura Virginia is still with us resting peacefully at home. Our family along with the wonderful people from hospice are taking care of her and making sure she remains as pain-free and comfortable as possible while she prepares for her nearing departure. We all thank you so much for the love and kind words.

This brings me to tears. I hope and pray they can live forever together in Heaven!
Incredibly touching, special and a blurry screen here to. Much thanks for putting that up. Give it a look FReepers.
That’s beautiful. They are lovers holding hands at Heaven’s Gate. They are experiencing this together.
How WONDERFUL and BEAUTIFUL is marriage between a man and a woman that really love one another! I celebrate this loving couple. I have been married for 48 years and I love my wife and thank God for her each and every day. We pray together, laugh together, cry together and serve God together. If you haven’t already done so today, tell your wife you love her.
I can’t watch that
I DO NOT want to survive the mother of my children...the love of my life al these years
Checked into motel in Louisville tonight on way home
Clerk automatically gave me AARP discount even as i was scolding the libtard organization
Frightening I tell Ya
I lost my other half last year, we were assaulted, she was struck in the throat by a knife wielding youth, when i intervened i was stabbed about twenty times, both my lungs collapsed from internal bleeding, but after i subdued him and tried to stop my bleeding i held her hand as she passed away.
a little over a year ago, but every day i see her waiting for me, time means nothing to her in her place, i age a year its but a heartbeat to her.
She waits patiently in a place i saw in a dream, i searched the globe for that place, saw a video by chance of a small beach side resort south of Adelaide Australia, its a near perfect match,
I spent my summer spending my wages on tickets, very hard to work with damaged lungs and nerves, perpetual pain in my upper back from the knife wounds, i bought a 40 foot reefer trailer, using it to store my tools and motorcycle collection.
I don’t know what will be there in Oz, i have 5 weeks booked, frankly i am just throwing it all in the air and watching to see which way the wind blows, i told my family back in Alaska is possible i may not return.
Going to arrive in Sydney dec 5th, her birthday.....
Thank you for posting this! God bless you and them!
