Another elderly couple has left their imprint on my heart. She's been in assisted living for eight months suffering/recuperating from some condition. They are finally going to be reunited and able to live together in the same space. They have several children, three of whom were adopted. I had the extreme pleasure to meet all five of them today.  Before I left, Morris took Jean by the hand and as he stood by her hospital bed, they sang me a song:

"More" from the movie "Mondo Cane".

"More than the greatest love the world has known,
This is the love I give to you alone,
More than the simple words I try to say,
I only live to love you more each day.
More than you'll ever know, my arms long to hold you so,
My life will be in your keeping, waking, sleeping, laughing, weeping,
Longer than always is a long long time, but far beyond forever you're gonna be mine.
I know I've never lived before and my heart is very sure,
No one else could love you more."

Their 50+ year history and their love for each other was palpable. To watch her sing from her hospital bed as they gazed lovingly upon each other was one of the most moving and powerful things I've ever been blessed enough to witness.

As the daughter walked me to my car, she informed me that her father had just been diagnosed with lung cancer and was going right into hospice. She told me that he said he was "ready."  

That entire hour-long visit, I watched him lovingly comfort her through her pain, unaware of the fact that it was he, not she that was dying...

Still weeping in my car.
