In a touching moment captured on video, a 92-year-old man, Bill, serenades his ailing wife, Ellen, in hospice care. Ellen, 93, has been married to Bill for a remarkable 73 years. “While visiting my grandmother, I was fortunate enough to witness this beautiful exchange between them,” Jamie shared on social media. “My grandma is spending her final days in hospice, and watching this made my heart melt.”

Bill chose to sing their beloved love song, one that comforted Ellen during his time away serving in World War II. “At family gatherings, it wasn’t uncommon for them to perform this song together, each taking turns to serenade the other,” Jamie explained. “They even renewed their vows after fifty years of marriage and sang this duet at their reception. Sadly, Grandma is now too frail to sing along, but she manages to whisper the words to him (check it out around the 1:00 mark). Bill then sweetly takes over, singing the rest of the song while tenderly caressing her face.” (Cue the tears!)

Just moments before the video started, Ellen requested to hold Bill’s hand as soon as she heard he was in the room. Although Bill struggles to stand alone, he swiftly rolled his wheelchair close to her bedside, ready to connect. Jamie’s cousin, Lucy, a physical therapist, assisted him to his feet so he could hold her close throughout the performance.

Despite Ellen’s blindness from macular degeneration and Bill’s hearing impairment, they share a profound connection, gazing deeply into each other’s eyes. When Jamie posted the video online, it quickly gained traction, spreading love and positivity throughout the family and lifting Ellen’s spirits. Initially given only a week to live, she was later deemed healthy enough to return home for her remaining days.
