Not so happy ending

LOVE

By Oprah gabby Published 3 years ago 3 min read

Once upon a time, there was a couple who met in college. They were both studying to become doctors, and they would often study together. They fell in love and started dating. They went through many ups and downs, but they always supported each other. After they graduated, they moved to different cities to do their residency. They felt their love would slowly fade and they would drift away from each other, but they made a promise to make it work. They would often video chat and talk on the phone. They would visit each other on weekends. After they finished their residency, they found their way back to each other, it wasn’t an easy one but they made efforts. Shortly after, they got married and started working at the same hospital. They were each other's support system and were happy to have found love in each other, they were happy they didn’t give up on each other. Years went by and they had a beautiful family. They had three kids and a dog. They would often take family trips and make memories together. They never forgot to celebrate their anniversary and would always do something special for each other. They would always cook their favorite meals, take their favorite brands of tequilas and just sit recounting the things they did that made them happy. They grew old together and faced the challenges of aging, but they never lost their love for each other. Even in their old age, they would still hold hands and look at each other with the same love that they had when they were young. They made each other so happy and still get butterflies like it was the first day. They were a true example of love that lasts a lifetime. One day, the husband became very ill. The wife took care of him and never left his side. She would stay up all night to make sure he was comfortable. She would hold his hand and tell him how much she loved him. Even though he was in pain, he would always smile when he saw her. After a few months of being sick, he passed away. The wife was heartbroken, but she knew that he was no longer in pain. She knew he was no longer suffering and that he was in a better place even though she knew she was sad that there would be no one to hold her hands, no one to smile so brightly at her, no one to tell her she looked more beautiful each day. She would often talk to him and tell him about her day. She would visit his grave and bring his favorite flowers. She never forgot the love that they had shared. The wife continued to live her life, but she missed her husband every day. She would often look at old pictures and remember the memories that they had made together. She cried almost every night but she was still at peace. She would tell her children and grandchildren stories about their father and how much she loved him.her children emulated the kind of love they had, she would often talk about their silly moments and they would all laugh. She continued to visit his grave and talk to him. One day, she passed away peacefully in her sleep. Her children and grandchildren were sad, but they knew that she was now with their father, they knew she wanted this and waited patiently for her to be called home, it was a very saddening moment for them but they were happy that they were together again.
