As heartwarming as this photo is, it comes with a bittersweet story.
This post is truncated for quicker loading. Please click below/left for more.
I've known this couple all my life growing up. And they are still madly in love today.
And it's with deep sadness, Mrs. is now in hospice and only has been given 6 months to live. And if that weren't enough, Mr. is going in for heart surgery.
This deeply touches me because I've lost both my parents. So!! I'd like to make this little dream come true for this family with your help if you're so inclined.
The family has entered these two in a photo contest. Whomever receives the most likes by Friday will be deemed The Cutest Couple and will win!
The win is a nice dinner and flowers. Mrs. can't go out for dinner, so Granddaughter will be taking Grandpa out out on a date if they win, and Grandma will brighten up her hospice room with the flowers.
This is a small thing... yet it's so very big.
If you'd like to help make this special wish come true for this family, I invite you to

then LIKE the photo.
That's it!

Just liked on the link!! There is 420 likes for them now!! This reminded me of my parents, they made it to 54 years, Mom was is a nursing home and my Dad had cancer. For their last Valentine's Day I hired a Barborshop Quortet to serenade them! I sincerely hope that your friends win. <3 Jenny
