Elderly couple reunites at care home after spending 8 months apart. Viral video

A video recorded by the staff of the care home showed how Mary and Gordon embraced each other and said, “I love you,” as soon as they met in the care home.

A heartwarming video that captured the sweet moment when an elderly couple reunited after spending eight months apart due to the coronavirus pandemic has gone viral on social media. Manchester, England:After not seeing his wife Mary for several months due to the pandemic — Gordon decided to surprise her by moving into the assisted living home so they could be together.Here’s the reunion...pic.twitter.com/Kx40D57WzJ That is so beautiful. I wish I could have had my mom for 80 years. Can we please fix our elder care system?? Couples should be moved in together, even if one is capable. We will all be old eventually, what do you want your elder care life to be? Let's all think on that. I’m sure pre- Covid he would visit everyday. The responsible facilities had to impose severe restrictions during COVID much to the detriment of relationships and mental health. Maybe he didn’t want to move in when she did.... any how, beautiful reunion! I sent it to my wife so she’d cry on the treadmill The Baily House Health Home has this picture of them on their FB page, if you want to cry a little more.https://t.co/mEK3qruxDV pic.twitter.com/xfQaLA1lJK This one got me @RexChapman. The cane and walker were no longer needed as they embraced their lives together. Poignant and BEAUTIFUL I noticed the same thing. She pushed that walker away and ran as fast as her legs could take her to her beloved. For those that may not notice due to the accent, she says "Sweetheart" and he replies at around 6 seconds "It's only me". A very British greeting. My grandparents would say it all the time. According to a BBC report, Mary Davis, 89, last saw Gordon, her husband of 68 years, when he was moved into a care home last year and had been unable to visit him due to lockdown restrictions. In February, Mary moved into a different care home, Baily House Care Home in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. However, the couple reunited earlier this week when a room was made available at Baily House Care Home and Gordon was transferred so that both could live together.
