Love is a beautiful thing no matter how old the couple is<\/a>, but there’s something special about a love that’s spanned most of a lifetime<\/a>. Many people dream about growing old with the love of their life, making plans to have babies and sit in a rocking chair holding their babies’ babies, but few get to actually live out that dream.<\/p>

When you come across a couple who have been married for 50 or 60 years<\/a> or longer, it’s common to ask them their secret to long-lasting love. <\/a>But there’s at least one centenarian who simply embodies what true love looks like in the golden years. He doesn’t offer up any secret advice, just a spontaneous act of pure, unadulterated love and people cannot get enough of it.<\/p>

A woman from Colombia posted a video to her Instagram page, enfermeraestilosa<\/a>, showing the moment her 103-year-old grandfather reunited with his wife after a month-long hospitalization. He was so excited that he forgot he needed his walker when he went running towards the love of his life.<\/p>

The text that accompanies the video translates from Spanish to English to say, “This is how my 103-year-old grandfather receives the love of his life after a month in hospital where we thought she would leave forever. How sad that things have to happen to realize that the lottery touches us every day with health, with family and with the love of the people we are close to. Yes, today is one more day that we have hit the jackpot. Merry Christmas, grandparents, you are together again.”<\/p>\n
