The love of my life passed away 7 months ago. We were married 32 years. Before we knew he was sick I used to tell him that I wanted to die before him because I couldn't live without him. He said I had to stay to take care of and to love the grandkids, whom he adored, if that happened. I can honestly say that if it wasn't for them I would not be here today. I have to remind myself everyday that he wanted me to stay here with them. And, the last thing he asked of me was to promise him that I would always be his wife. It felt like a marriage proposal all over again. I promised him I would. I love you my love, then, now and forever.

I'm confused...So on her wedding day, as she's dancing with Danny during the wedding dances, ( and he's not her husband), she buried her head in his chest? On Her Wedding Day. THEN she skips a few years ahead, to, Danny asking her out in a date. How cute?? People take the marriage vows so lightly sometimes. They use people like tissue paper.

when she says " I hope he remembers me as the love of his life, even if he finds someone that makes him happy, not more happy than me". Thank you. For being real, for saying exactly what everyone that truly loves someone thinks, for truly loving him. Not the typical I hope he finds someone bullshit. You two are precious

[@behabtwa]

Alicia González maybe not everyone feels the same way.

[@truecrimerip7936]

i disagree. what a mean thing to let "your love" have a bad feeling about new relationships for the rest of his life, especially when your own is coming to an end at 35. what if he tries to never fall in love with someone else after her death because he is scared to love his new girlfriend more than her? i would never wish that on my boyfriend. he would be devastated if i died and that alone would destroy a huge part of his life. i would wish, that he could someday overcome his grief and find a new love - the same love or maybe even a deeper love that he had found with me. and i think so BECAUSE he is the love of my life. i wish him nothing but the best. not less.

[@fifette1426]

TrueCrimeRIP true but I get what she means. You like to think when you get married that you are the person who could make them the happiest in the world. But she still wants to find someone who makes him equally happy, but not more as that would diminish what they have for each other now. X

[@fifette1426]

Linda Cuerrier yes that’s true, that’s like I had my ‘first love’ before my long term relationship (which I would class the love of my lifetime). The first love feelings are so intense, and my next love was different but in no way invalidates it!

I always take healthcare for granted, I have spent so much time in hospital, I lost my right leg, my care was amazing, doctors and nurses were fantastic, luckily we have free health care we are so fortunate that our NHS costs absolutely nothing! It must be so hard trying to pay for surgery, I would never be able to afford it so I would be dead now!

[@samloru5532]

Exactly. People don't go to the doctor cause of the fear that they will not be able to afford the bill. My mom will not go to the doctor until she absolutely has to because of the bill. Its absolutely heartbreaking. There has to be a way to make health care cheaper without raising taxes of those same people who already struggle.

[@karikling8812]

I don't know who said this, and I didn't understand what it meant back then, but after reading some of these beautiful comments I know now " It is better to have loved and lost Than to never have loved at all" I may not have quoted this exactly, but you get the gist. I am so glad for all of you lucky ones out there that found your prince charming. As hard as it is to lose the love of your life, I think it is much sadder to have never experienced the joy that true love brings you, especially if you know someone who has it. I was 42 when I found mine years after a very bad marriage. I didn't think true love would ever find me. 14 months after our marriage I found out I had stage 4 breast cancer. The Drs. gave me 1 month to live. They removed both my breasts and suggested I try the strongest chemo they had. They said the chemo itself might kill me, but I was definitely going to die if I didn't try it. They gave me a 10% chance it would work. I was madly in love with my new husband, so I did it. It made me deathly I'll, caused some brain damage & a little memory loss, but I survived it. It has been 20 years since my ordeal. I eventually recovered & things were a fairytale for 8 years. Then my prince slowly got Dementia. As time progressed he began to forget things until he finally forgot who I was. He couldn't remember our fairytale love for each other, although I remembered every bit of it. I kept him with me till it was impossible to keep him home. I found out from relatives that the same thing happened to his father. I found a beautiful place for him to live until he passed 14 years ago. I have never remarried. There will never be another one like him. Here's to all the prince charmings out there who make our lives unforgettable & to the women who were lucky enough to find one.

[@mefford67]

As my beloved mother-in-law laid dying in a hospital bed, her husband of 60+ years came in to say his final farewell to his sweetheart. I moved away from the bed to allow him to get as close as he could do she'd be able to hear him. I also sought to give them privacy without causing them to feel like this moment in their life was being deliberately intruded upon. I remained in the room ( I'm in the medical field ), only to provide medical support like suctioning her airway. After 10-15 minutes I noticed my father-in-law had an almost beatific expression on his face as he leaned in and whispered to his wife, "Thank you for giving me such a beautiful life" as he kissed her for the last time. THIS is how I wish to be remembered. THIS is the kind of legacy I hope to leave behind. I want to live the rest of my life with love, caring and an open heart like my mother-in-law. Thank you Nana for sharing your life with me... I'm both blessed and grateful that I had you as an example of how everyone should try to live their lives.

I cried through this whole video. The day before my AVM aneurysm surgery I found out my husband was cheating on me. We had 2 young daughters and I only had a 30% chance for survival. I lost my left lung and had many surgeries. I divorced him 2 years later. He took all our savings, our bank accounts were emptied and I had to go on food stamps for a year just to survive until a judge ordered him to pay. He did pay everything until the girls were 18, but I lost everything. I fought back, became a nurse with a full scholarship! I've never have found a true love. Now I"m 60. I do have a identical twin who's been there for me.

My name is Jane, my husbands name is Dan. I was diagnosed in 2010 with a brain tumor, underwent a 10 hour surgery, was told the tumor was benign but awoke with the entire right side of my face paralyzed. I’ve lived with the new me ever since. They didn’t remove the entire tumor, each year I have to get a MRI to see if there’s regrow. I have had numerous re-construction surgeries. This has helped greatly, but I will never look the same, smile the same, my DAN has told me he doesn’t notice a difference when he looks at me, or the love he feels for me. There is a major difference. He doesn’t see it. The story I just watched wrenched at my heart, Jess & Dan are both so adorable, a love like that is rare. They will both be in my prayers.

My heart shattered into a million pieces when Jessica's dad spoke about not letting her go. Jessica, you have blessed us all so much by allowing us into your life to witness one of the most difficult journeys in your life. God's purpose for you must be an incredibly big and important one. Earthly Angel's are set up all around you (like Dan) to help, encourage, hold and most of all... to love you. And who couldn't love you? You are intelligent, funny and you possess a beauty that is not earthly, your beauty is not only physical, but it oozes out through your eyes allowing us to see your soul, which is luminous white and so bright, it's hard to ignore. May God keep you under His guiding and protective wing always. Dan, thank you for loving her the way she deserves to be loved, you are remarkable and have also had a hard difficult road, but you traveled it better than anyone ever could.
