Donna and Karl’s love became even more important this year as Donna faced numerous health problems. The 85-year-old grandma endured several strokes, a brain bleed, and open-heart surgery all in the course of one year.

Speaking with CBS news, Christina says that she fears that every time she says goodbye to her beloved grandmother it will be the last time that she ever sees her.

Through it all, Karl has stoically remained by Donna side, a constant companion. Before her last surgery, Karl promised his beloved wife that if she pulled through, he would buy her a new engagement ring.

Donna held Karl to that promise, the two going to a store with Christina in tow to search for a new ring. Finding the perfect piece, Karl got down on one knee all over again, asking Donna to be his wife. Donna quickly accepted, with Karl putting the ring on her finger.
