It’s often the young and beautiful who portray the love stories, whether it’s on the big screen, the pages of a romance novel, or online where we can all obsess over the latest celebrity matches.
But one elderly couple became a woman’s inspiration for showing the true meaning of love and romance.
Emily Hime recounted the last few months of her grandmother’s life which was both a heartbreaking time, but also a time when she said she was “blessed to witness something beautiful” – the unconditional love between her grandparents.Emily told Love What Matters that her family had always teased her grandfather saying that he would never survive without grandma as she did everything for him but in the last few months of her life the roles were reversed.
“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. It’s him learning to prepare meals, do laundry, and cook for her as she went through 6 rounds of chemotherapy.”
