Holding his lady.
Married seventy-five years.
On deathbed he lies,
vows honored until the end.
A portrait of love, endures.

Author’s note: This piece is dedicated to my nanna, 95 years old, and my grandfather “Bill” who passed away in June 2015. They had a truly remarkable and inspiring love; married more than 75 years! I can’t even imagine the bond they shared. Nanna claims he still visits her every night in her dreams, asking her when she will join him 💜💙💚

I am so sorry for your loss Sarah. Your poem is beautiful.
My Mum was also 95 and she passed away in January. My thoughts are with you, and as my Mum and Dad are now reunited, I am sure your Nanna and Bill are also together in the Garden of Forever. ❤ ❤

sorry for your loss but it’s their gain as they reunite again … must have been hard for them to be apart. But you can never imagine the hole they leave … take care!
