The woman was engrossed in playing the piano and did not notice that her husband was standing right behind her and started dancing to the piano tune she was playing. The man tried to match his steps with the tune and was having a great time. Even with the possible physical restrictions, he tried his best and waved his hands in the air as the tune reached its highest point. The man started moving towards his wife as the song was about to come to an end. The 81-year-old carefully completed her song as her husband came in from behind to give her a hug and a kiss.

In another similar story, a 100-year-old man walked five blocks every day to visit his wife at a care home. The man, Jack Mudry, had developed mobility issues, but even that didn't stop him from seeing his wife, Stella, per CTV News Winnipeg. "I ask God to help me. Help me with my movement, with my walking, because I walk there and back," Mudry expressed. He met his wife back in 1947 when he was getting a ride from Winnipeg to Sandy Lake. The couple was in love then and got married after three years of courtship. Unfortunately, Stella had to move out in 2023 due to her health issues. But that didn't stop her husband from seeing her, even though it was hard for him to walk.
