Before I get on with the blog I just want to say this is the definition of true love. This is absolutely beautiful and I definitely will keep this man and his beautiful wife in my thoughts and prayers. Here's the original story below:
Luther Younger, a 98-year-old
Korean War veteran, walks about six miles each way, rain or shine, to
visit his paralyzed wife in the hospital, according to Spectrum News Rochester.
Luther and his wife, Waverlee, have been married for over 50 years. “I ain’t nothing without my wife,” Younger told Spectrum News. “It’s been a rough pull. It’s been tough.”
“They both live with me,” the
couple’s daughter, Lutheta Younger, tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “I moved them
out of their house, moved them in with me.” Along with her sister Joyce
Johnson, the two have been taking care of Waverlee and Luther, in the
same way her mother always took care of her and her siblings, Lutheta
says.
According to Lutheta, her
father has been walking to and from the hospital for a long time.
“He
doesn’t have to, but he wants to. I can drive him. He just doesn’t want
to wait; he’s impatient.”
Waverlee
has suffered from brain cancer since 2009, but Luther fondly remembers
their years together. “She’s the best cup of tea I ever had,” the
devoted husband told Spectrum News. “She would come in and kiss me and
say ‘baby’ and feed me in the bed, and this is what I need right here.”
When asked what her father thinks of all the attention he’s receiving, Lutheta says, “You know, he just wants the best for my mom.”
A GoFundMe page was recently set up for the family to help with hospital expenses and the cost of rides to and from the hospital.
