Stop here if you’re in an emotionally vulnerable state.
YouTube user Erin Solari has uploaded this incredibly touching video of her grandfather Howard serenading his wife Laura as she makes peace with her final days.
Erin says:
“My grandparents Laura and Howard have been married 73 years. In this video Howard is 92 and Laura is 93. Laura (Grandma) is at a hospice facility making peace with her final days. I was lucky enough to capture this precious, heart-melting moment between the two of them. Howard (Grandpa) is singing to her their love song, the song that comforted her when he went away to fight in World War II.
At family gatherings, it was not uncommon for the two of them to sing this song together, each taking a verse and serenading the other. In fact, after fifty years of marriage, they renewed their vows and performed this song as a duet for the entire family at the reception”.
Though Laura is too ill to sing along, she can be seen mouthing the words in the clip.
The end of the video is absolutely heart wrenching with Laura whispering “I love you” as Howard repeats “You’re Mine”.
Christ, the feels.
