After 75 Years Of Marriage, This Couple Died In Each Others’ Arms Hours Apart
Alexander and Jeanette Toczko, an elderly couple in California that had been married for 75 years, recently passed away in each others’ arms within less than a day of each other, professing their love for each other until the very end. Their last loving embrace was documented by their bereaved daughter Aimee Toczko-Cushman.
Alexander (95) and Jeanette (95) ‘dated’ since they were 8 and married in 1940. Several weeks ago, Alexander suffered a broken hip and became bedridden. Jeanette also fell ill, so a local hospice provided them with care beds where they could lie in each others’ arms.

...and people today think that if their marriage lasts 10 years that they've done a good job. We should all wish for a love like this.

My husband and I had gotten wide-eyed stares when we had only reached our 5th anniversary!! And people would tell us what a "long time" that was! Seriously?? That's only just starting out! People need to enter into marriage realizing it's a covenant, and not bail out for selfish reasons at the very first sign of trouble.
