We always make promises of forever and ever. Though we hardly ever keep up to this, but we still promise our significant other that we will not leave each other’s hands till death do us apart. Infact, “till death do us apart” is a common phrase in every wedding. Letting go of a loved one is never easy. However, death is inevitable. Nothing is permanent. We know that nothing is forever but when someone leaves our side, the heart wrenching feeling is still inevitable. Those final goodbyes are never easy. This man says goodbye to his wife of 59 years and our faith in love is restored.

This man, who had immense love for his wife, reached the visitation period an hour ahead of the scheduled time. He wanted to spend the last moments with his wife.

This man shows us what true love feels like.
Even when the other people were saying her goodbye, he kept seated there. He sat there for almost 5 hours. When you spend 59 years with someone, the final goodbye brings an escruciating pain.
In a Facebook post, an author writes the agony that the old man showed. Bobby was devastated with the loss of his wife.

No matter how big the fear is, love should still be there. That’s the beauty of love, it overcomes every teary goodbye and every pain.
