Husband waits outside wife’s nursing home to celebrate 67th anniversary after COVID-19 worries separates them
By daisydoll
Nancy Shellard was sent to a nursing home in Stafford Springs, Connecticut, and her loving husband Bob got up everyday just to see her. However, he couldn't continue his daily visits due to because of worries and concerns over the spread of the newly COVID-19 virus.
Even though the governor banned visitors to nursing homes, Bob realized that he still needed to see his wife, especially on their 67th wedding anniversary.
Because he wasn't able to be with her physically, Bob came to her window with a sign.
“I’ve loved you 67 years and still do. Happy Anniversary.”
“It makes me feel bad because I want her down with me and I know she can’t be,” he told NBC Connecticut.
Nancy saw Bob’s sweet gesture and responded with waves and lots of kisses.
The couple’s daughter Laura said this was the first anniversary the two spent apart, and that their love for each other has been an example for her and her siblings.
“They have always been an inspiration to us and I think just seeing every year go by that they still express it in some way on their anniversary,” she said.
For Bob, he believes Nancy is his soulmate.
“I wouldn’t want anybody else,” he said.
It’s so sweet that even though he wasn’t allowed inside, Bob still showed up. I hope he continues to sit outside her window so the two can “visit” with each other.
