After meeting on IG, they want to make it IRL

This took him from using a cane, to a walker, to (finally) a wheelchair.

I tried to keep up our activities by helping him to get around.

Just weeks before his passing we were able to spend our 45th wedding anniversary in the beautiful place where we had honeymooned.

Just lifting the chair in and out of the car was hard for me at age 76, but he was happy and even offered to try to help me.

Many times and many places we went, I had trouble navigating.

I just want to thank all of those people of all ages who stepped up to give me a hand when I needed it.
