As they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder. And for one couple, that statement couldn't ring more true.
After being apart for two weeks, a man named Henry joyously came into his wife's room at the retirement home to see her. Holding a bouquet of roses, he grins from ear to ear when he spots his wife of 65 years.
After his wife gets a little help standing up, Henry embraces his wife, as tears stream down his face.
"I love you so much!" Henry gushes, almost unwilling to let go of her.
Then, Henry reveals he has more gifts for her. Finally, when he's seated in his wheelchair, he grabs his wife's hand and kisses it — once again declaring his undying love for her.
"You're the prettiest thing… You look just the same as the first time I ever saw you," he says. She grins from ear-to-ear from his endearing compliment. "You're the only 90-year-old woman I know that doesn't have any wrinkles."
It's so beautiful to see a couple's love grow stronger throughout the years — like this man who wrote a love ballad for his wife of 75 years.
