Spouses Florin and Ed Hale are irrefutable proof that such feelings exist. They lived together for 60 unforgettable years, and even death could not separate their life paths.
Florin and Ed met in 1952 and fell in love while dancing their first waltz. A deep feeling, at first sight, struck their pure hearts. Ed immediately knew: it or no one else.
Florin was in seventh heaven when her loved one proposed to her. Having said “yes” to each other, the young people were already looking forward to their long and happy life. The spouses took every word of the wedding vow with deep responsibility, taking care of each other “in sickness and health”. Even the phrase “until death do us part” took on a literal meaning in their lives. At the age of 83, Ed’s kidney failed, after which he was immediately taken to the hospital.
A few days later, Florin had a heart attack. The elderly woman was also taken to the hospital, but not to the one where her husband was. Ed insisted on being transferred to Florin Hospital and, moreover, placed in the same room. Doctors and relatives could not refuse. The elderly couple eventually found themselves together again. So they could hold hands.
Florin could hardly feel or understand anything, but she immediately noticed the presence of her beloved husband. She died moments later. Not for a moment letting go of her husband’s hand. Two hours later, Ed took his last breath and closed his eyes forever.
“Florin, I will never leave you. I promised you then that no one and nothing in this world could force me to leave you. If you leave, I will leave with you!” Those were Ed’s last words. He had no idea how right he was … We all want someone to love us more than anything in the world, but for this you need to learn how to selflessly give love to others.
