My father-in-law died yesterday morning after being in very bad health for the past several months. He had a heart attack and stroke in July and at that time, he wasn't expected to last more than a day or so but he held on. The nursing home staff said he could be waiting on a special date. Yesterday was my MIL's birthday and the 10-year anniversary of her death. She died on her birthday. And now he did too. My DH pointed out to me that of the four dates on their headstone, three of them will be the same day. Just wanted to share...we think it's an amazing love story.  |

I'm very sorry for your loss! A friend of mine lost her husband a few weeks ago and he said the day before he died "I'm going to see my sister tomorrow" (a sister that had been gone for many years) I have heard stories of those who have waited for loved ones to arrive before they pass. Thanks for sharing their love story.
