Viral Video: Man Sings to Dying Wife

This is an emotional video of an elderly man singing the 1943 love song 'You'll Never Know' to his dying wife. This has gone viral after the couple's granddaughter shared the touching moment via Facebook, then YouTube.

The Touching Story

According to Erin Solari, the couples granddaughter, that her grandparents Laura (93 years old) and Howard (92 years old) have been married for 73 years. She explained how her grandmother, Laura, was in a hospice facility and rapidly approaching her last days on earth. The video clip begins when Howard, gently stroking his wife's face as the two lovingly gaze into each other's eyes. 

Here it is according to Erin: 

"I was lucky enough to capture this precious, heart-melting moment between the two of them. Howard  is singing to her their love song, the song that comforted her when he went away to fight in World War II. At family gatherings, it was not uncommon for the two of them to sing this song together, each taking a verse and serenading the other. In fact, after fifty years of marriage, they renewed their vows and performed this song as a duet for the entire family at the reception. Moments before this video began, when Grandma heard that Grandpa was in the room, she asked if she could hold him. Grandpa cannot stand on his own, but he immediately pulled his wheelchair close to her bed ready to make it happen. My cousin, Serena, who is a physical therapist, helped him to his feet and held him up throughout the entire song. You might notice above her bed there is a sign that says, 'Patient Blind.' That is because she has macular degeneration, so she cannot see much of anything but shadows and light. That doesn’t stop her from looking deep into her love’s eyes. Grandpa, on the other hand, has lost most of his hearing, so you’ll notice us repeating things for him since Grandma is to weak to raise her voice. 

It began to go viral and all the outpouring of love lifted everyone's spirits... including Grandma's! They originally gave her just a week to live, but hospice eventually deemed her well enough to go back home to live out her remaining few days. As of this posting my beautiful Grandma Laura Virginia is still with us resting peacefully at home. Our family along with the wonderful people from hospice are taking care of her and making sure she remains as pain-free and comfortable as possible while she prepares for her nearing departure. We all thank you so much for the love and kind words. ".

This beautiful video has earned more than 3.6 million views since it was posted on September 12.  

True Love, isnt it? The scene that all married couple wish for.  

They live with their marriage vows to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honour you all the days of my life, until death do us part.
