Feb 16, 2019 by apost team

In an age when 50% of marriages end in divorce, it is incredible to see a couple that is truly in love after an entire lifetime of marriage. Many women appreciate a big gesture from their husbands. That could be a surprise of flowers, an elegant dinner, a charming compliment, or, especially, a big gift. Those gifts are made even more special when they seem to come completely out of the blue.

While there are many stories of big, loving gifts out there, no one can compare to the adorable gift that Mr. Don Johnson gave to his wife recently. The romantic gesture was moving enough to bring tears to your eyes!

Don has been married to his wife, Patricia, for an incredibly 67 years. The couple met very young and enjoyed a wonderful and joyful life together.

Last May, Patricia was moved into a nursing home after suffering an injury to her hand and decided to take off her engagement ring briefly in order to properly allow the injury to heal.

She had worn the ring every day for the 67 years that she was married to her husband.

Patricia was devastated when she was unable to find the ring a few days later. The nursing staff and fellow patients joined forces to search everywhere for Patricia’s missing ring.

However, she was grateful that her fall had not caused more serious injury and decided to try not to focus too much on her lost ring.

She appreciated greatly what the ring had symbolized for nearly 70 years of marriage.

After nearly seven decades, the couple still adored each other. Don knew how much that the engagement ring had meant to his wife over the years.

He decided to surprise his wife with a grand gesture.

First, he had to come up with an excuse to get Patricia out of the nursing home for the afternoon. Second, he had to practice his speech for the big reveal. Don suffers from Parkinson’s disease. This often makes it difficult to speak.

On December 23rd the family gathered to exchange holiday gifts.

All eyes were on Patricia as she opened a small box.

Her face lit up and tears of joy began to stream down her face when she saw what was inside the box.

How wonderful is Don for pulling off this grand gesture for the woman he adores? Have you ever seen a gesture that means so much to a loving couple? Pass this on to your family and friends!
