The beautiful love story of Mr. Hubert Malicote and Mrs. June will captivate many people.
They both live in Ohio (USA). They are both 100 years old, have been together for almost 80 years, and have three children, seven grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren.
Not long ago, Mrs. Joan was seriously ill and was admitted to the hospital for hospice care. Watching his wife's body deteriorating day by day, Mr. Hubert was heartbroken.
After the wife was hospitalized for a day, the husband was also moved to the same room as her. The elderly and frail Mr. Hubert and Mrs. Joan have been in a coma for 5 days. They have been together and never left.
Mr. Hubert breathed his last in his sleep at about 9 pm on November 30. Twenty hours later, Mrs. June followed her husband.
The couple's son Sam, 76, said: "They went together. I feel sad even though I know I shouldn't. They have had a long and happy life together over the years."
The love story of this couple has attracted many people's admiration.
Both Mr. Hubert and Mrs. June were born in July 1922.
The two met at a church in 1941, when they were both 19 years old. Mr. Hubert fell in love with Mrs. Joan's smile and their relationship began.
From the first meeting, the grandparents talked, walked, and dated more times. Mr. Hubert once shared: "I used to think what our lives would be like if she didn't smile." A year later, when they were both 20, he proposed and she said yes. As if destined, the two have always had a sweet and warm affection for each other.
Mr. Hubert served in the Navy. After retiring, he returned to Ohio to live with his wife and work at a technology company. Mrs. June is a full-time housewife who devotes herself to raising and caring for their three children. In Mr. Hubert's eyes, Ms. June is the ultimate homemaker - she devotes all her time and energy to caring for her family and raising three loving children.
In decades of living together, the two have always given each other respect and love. The 80-year relationship between the 100-year-old couple once attracted the attention of the American media. On their 79th wedding anniversary, Mr. Hubert and Mrs. Joan say the secret to their long-term relationship is avoiding arguments. Mr. Hubert said: "From beginning to end, our life was not very peaceful.
However, the couple never did anything to hurt each other. If there was a disagreement, I would go out for a few days. After a few minutes, go back and solve the problem or change the subject."
