All relationships eventually come to an end, no matter how much both partners love each other. While some couples break up, others couples go on "'til death do us part".

When the love is true, however, even death can't stop that bond. Both partners do whatever it takes to keep the spark alive, even long after one partner is gone.

Such is the case with Ted Richardson whose feelings for his wife have never wavered. Though she passed away five years ago, Ted's wife Florence is always at the forefront of his mind.

Ted's dedication to Florence and their love story is now taking the world by storm

Their love began when they both met. Florence was 14 and Ted was 16. They both knew they had found love the moment they met.

The two were only apart from each other when Ted left to fight WWII. He took a photo of Florence with him to keep him company throughout the war.

After Ted came home, the two were married. Ted became a teacher and Florence joined the FBI.

Shortly after beginning their new lives together, the lovebirds welcomed their son. From then on, Ted and Florence shared 72 years of marriage together.

Now, with Florence gone, Ted has never stopped loving her. He is determined to show her that he still loves her, no matter what.

Six days out of the week, Ted takes three buses to get to Florence's resting place

Ted gets to the cemetery at 6:30 in the morning. He talks with his wife, tends to her grave site, and lays flowers on the grave for her. Ted's love knows no bounds--even after Ted passes away, he's arranged to send flowers to her grave.

As of now, Ted has visited Florence over 1,300 times. He keeps track of each visit on his calendar with no intentions of quitting anytime soon.

Ted knows that he will keep seeing his wife until the day he dies. He vows to go for as long as possible, as he says, "God will tell me when I've had enough."
