Every single morning they would hug good morning and kiss in the kitchen.

They were both utterly devoted, and faithful for their entire life, to one another.



At 92 years old, one finally died.


Ten days later so did the other.


Of a broken heart, I have absolutely no doubt.



It would have been my dearest wish to get to end like that. It was my model.
