True love
With all the talk of marriage etc on the forum in the last couple of days I want to share the story of a couple I know, one of the very few couples I know that were truly in love right to the end. I was in hospital in 2015 for five long months, I met many people in that time, all seriously ill, several have since died. One couple I met truly stood out, let's call them Mary and John. Mary had cancer, a brain tumor. John spent about ten hours a day every day with Mary. They were both so positive, so determined to beat the cancer. John and Mary were together for 52 years, they couldn't have children which was a terrible pity as they would have been amazing parents. They were together 24/7 , they even had their own business and worked side by side six days a week. They holidayed all over the world together. The old saying is true "never go to bed on argument". John told me they had their disagreements from time to time but never went to bed without making up. They really were an exceptional couple to be so in love after so many years together. In 2015 Mary got the all clear but unfortunately in late 2017 her cancer returned. She fought bravely with John by her side at all times but in March this year Mary lost the battle, John phoned me to tell me the bad news, I was devastated for him. I'm happy to say however John accepted Mary's death with his usual positivity and is doing very well despite his terrible loss. If you're lucky enough to have found true love fight to keep it, it's a very rare thing nowadays.
