Phil and Nancy were married over 60 years. They lived modestly and both served as pastors in the Salvation Army for much of their adult life. After retirement they moved into a senior housing apartment, and both lived to be 94 years old. In her late 80’s, Nancy began to show signs of dementia and she also had profound hearing issues. But living together, both Phil and Nancy were doing okay. Then at age 93 Nancy got out of the car — unassisted, because she forgot she was supposed to wait for Phil to help her. She fell, broke her hip, and even though the hip was repaired she never walked again, due to her mental inability to cooperate with the necessary physical therapy. Nancy was moved into a nursing home half a block from their apartment. For the next year–and–a–half, Phil walked over to the nursing home every single day and joined Nancy for lunch, feeding her when she could no longer do it herself. Phil took his vows seriously and served Nancy every day until she passed away.
