An elderly British couple reunited after spending a long time apart due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a video that captured their sweet reunion will surely melt your heart. The heartwarming video has gone viral on social media with more than 4 million views.

89-year-old Mary Davis last saw her husband Gordon (68) eight months ago when he moved into a care home last year, reported BBC News. Gordon was unable to visit Mary due to lockdown restrictions and in February she moved into a different care home in Nottinghamshire, England.

But another room was recently available at Mary’s care home and Gordon decided to surprise her by moving there. The couple reunited this week and will now be living together.

Someone from the staff recorded a video when they reunited that showed how they embraced each other and said I love you as soon as they met. Gordon dropped his cane, Mary left her walker behind and they gave each other a warm hug and then kissed.

Tears of joy trickled down Mary’s face when she saw her husband after a long period of time.

The video was uploaded on Twitter by Rex Chapman who wrote: “Manchester, England: After not seeing his wife Mary for several months due to the pandemic — Gordon decided to surprise her by moving into the assisted living home so they could be together. Here’s the reunion…”

Can we please fix our elder care system?? Couples should be moved in together, even if one is capable. We will all be old eventually, what do you want your elder care life to be? Let’s all think on that.

I’m sure pre- Covid he would visit everyday. The responsible facilities had to impose severe restrictions during COVID much to the detriment of relationships and mental health. Maybe he didn’t want to move in when she did…. any how, beautiful reunion!

This one got me @RexChapman. The cane and walker were no longer needed as they embraced their lives together. Poignant and BEAUTIFUL

I noticed the same thing. She pushed that walker away and ran as fast as her legs could take her to her beloved.

For those that may not notice due to the accent, she says “Sweetheart” and he replies at around 6 seconds “It’s only me”. A very British greeting. My grandparents would say it all the time.
