This new is really touching to me and it reminds me that we should treasure our loved ones for we never knows what is before us to come. We use to hear people say, "To death till us part" or "Till death do us part" during the wedding proclamation. Being able to live together in life and till death displays a great love. There is a couple from India, Punnapakam village in Tiruvallur district, has been married for nearly SEVEN DECADES! WoW, that is a long seventy years. The man was aged 21 when he married his wife who is aged only 12. Now they lived till age 91, and 82 respectively for the husband and the wife. Everything was as normal and usual...until... Question is, how would a person take it upon hearing the news of the sudden death of his or her loved one? In this case, the husband died of out a sudden without any sign. Upon the wife hearing the news shocked news, she collapsed immediately and was rushed to a private hospital. But sadly, she didn't make it through...she was declared dead on arrival. This couple had lived together for a great wonderful seventy years, and were united in death as well. How emotionally touched for them.
