This is one of the most touching and most heartwarming stories I have ever read in my life. I dare you not to tear up when reading it!
A devoted Iowa couple married for 72 years died holding hands in the hospital last week, exactly one hour apart.
The passing reflected the nature of their marriage, where, "As a rule, everything was done together," said the couple's daughter Donna Sheets, 71.
Gordon Yeager, 94, and his wife Norma, 90, left their small town of State Center, Iowa, on Wednesday to go into town, but never made it. A car accident sent the couple to the emergency room and intensive care unit with broken bones and other injuries. But, even in the hospital, their concerns were each other.
"She was saying her chest hurt and what's wrong with Dad? Even laying there like that, she was worried about Dad," said the couple's son, Dennis Yeager, 52. "And his back was hurting and he was asking about Mom.
When it became clear that their conditions were not improving, the couple was moved into a room together in beds side-by-side where they could hold hands.

What an inspirational, touching story about true love and commitment and devotion to one another in this story. It's too bad so many people today cannot love their partners enough to honor the kind of commitment and devotion that this couple had for one another! Super blog!
Thanks Tara, very inspiring...we should all learn a lesson from this couple...thanks for sharing...Terry
thank 4 sharing sad story
I agree we all need to take a step back and realize what it really means to be dedicated and truly love someone unconditionally. I hope when I finally do marry ronnie we are together that long. even though this story was sad in its outcome it was also sweet at the same time and really tugs at your heartstrings.
that is truly amazing story..
touching news.....thanks for sharing

April I bet you they will too you can just see the love that they have for each other when they walk into a room.

hi.. cool post.. its such an inspiring and heart-breaking love story.. thanks for sharing it with us.. :)
Your welcome Color me the way that they died just symbolizes how much love they had for one another. Its very inspiring to know that this kind of love still lasts in life and death. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I heard about this couple and how they may have gone to a parallel world together. This would make sense since they did everything together so why not continue the journey.....
Awesome post Tara!

Thank You Romel It is a very heartwarming yet sad story!
If only everyone could be so blessed with such love & devotion, it's a dying art. Now they have eternity to spend time together & my guess is that they couldn't be happier. thanks Tara for sharing a very touching story.
can't even imagine...
