“Dad Stopped Breathing but I Couldn’t Figure Out What was Going on Because the Heart Monitor was Still Going”

That is a startling line from the story of a married couple of 72 years who died while holding hands. Read or watch the whole thing, here. You’ll thank yourself for it.

In the midst of the every day minutiae, it’s a very powerful thing to be stopped dead in one’s tracks by seeing such a powerful love between two people so eloquently and magnificently played out in real life.
For seventy years this couple chose to stay the course through thick and thin and good and the bad and everything in between because they knew (and I think beyond a shadow of a doubt) that their love would prevail. To the end. And it did.
What marvelous examples of light and goodness and hope in an often brutally dark world.

Keep trying, America needs some warm and fluffy.
