Have a box of tissues handy for this one, kiddos.
Seems that Gordon and Norma Yeager, married in 1939 in Iowa, died holding hands last week. They were in the hospital, surrounded by their children and their families, and the hospital staff could see they didn’t want to be separated, so Gordon and Norma were left together, holding hands until the end. Norma died one hour after Gordon.
It gets worse. After Gordon stopped breathing at 3:38 pm, his children couldn’t figure out why his heart monitor was still going. The nurse determined that, because they were holding hands, the heart monitor was picking up Norma’s heartbeat as it went through Gordon.
BAWL BAWLBAWLBAWLBAWL BAWL!!
OMG. I haven't cried like this since Old Yeller.
