Derek and Margaret, who had been married for over 70 years, met again after three months, where they were hospitalized for Covid-19.
The 91-year-old couple started their relationship when they were only 14 years old and had been divorced several times. But it wasn’t until Margaret fell ill and was hospitalized in January that Derek came across the virus.
On one visit, Derek contracted the disease and was admitted to the same hospital as Margaret. Doctors suggested it was good that they were close, because it was not known how long they would live and when the last time they would see each other or be so close together.
“Where have you been?” Margaret asked Derek as soon as she saw him. Both were sorely missed and the cooperation of the medical staff allowed the couple to meet one last time, leaving an emotional image captured by their daughter Barbara. , and where she remembered her wedding day around the 1950s.
While the reunification seemed to bring joy and strength to the couple, it didn’t. Derek died on January 31, and Margaret died three days later. In a few days his funeral will take place together.
“It was a very sad moment, but it was very special that they could be together. They loved to have fun together and make the most of life, ” the couple’s daughter told a local media outlet.
