He was married to her for over 1/2 a century. He was an artist, albeit not quite commercially successful , yet managing to win every contest he entered.
They lived an impoverished existence, out in the forgotten rural parts of America
The house they owned was a good century and 1/2 old, all manner of problems
But then she fell ill, and the long decline followed, think about being your other 1/2's caregiver here. And then the furnace crapped out, so they were left with only a wood stove, and cold showers when the water was unfrozen and worked....
He kept her on a sofa by the stove, kept it running all night while he slept on the floor next to her like a dog beside her
He bathed her in a small tub , with water he warmed on that stove
The night she passed, he held her hand whispering they'd meet again
This is a real man imho
Teach this in school
