That reminds me of the sad story of Mary and Nick Yankovic, the parents of Weird Al. They both died in their sleep on the same night, because there was an undetected carbon monoxide leak in their house.
So what about next week? Something new or more about Luann’s blank slate? I think the story will continue as Luann explores her new sense of empowerment. Probably with Bernice who will think it won’t last.
I think they’re just appreciating each other, inspired by the story of an old couple with a long and presumably beautiful relationship in which they were so in sync that they died together. Makes the cuddles more meaningful.
“They left out the best part, " sez Our Be❤️Loved Esteemed Role Model and Ideal, Ann❤️Eiffel. “Herman and Virginia were bumping uglies when it happened.” Ain’t ❤️ Grand?
My parents were married 74 years and four months. They died last December twelve hours apart – to the minute. Mama was heard telling Daddy, a few days before: “You’ll have to go first. I’m not leaving without you.”
And on the opposite side of the spectrum, I’m reminded of Alan King’s routine “Survived by his wife.” If you haven’t heard/seen it, you might like it. Available on the internet.
I had 2 sets of married relatives where the husband died 3 weeks or less after the wife. In one case the husband had dementia and was not told his wife died, but he knew something was wrong when she didn’t come to see him every day.
Karen & Greg should just make every Sunday strip with Brad & Toni. It keeps them relevant and gives us a break from the tangential soap opera theyLuann strip has become.
Life is truly precious with our loved ones. Cherishing every moment is especially important! We do not know when the last moment will be, and we are never ready for it. I was not when my spouse passed away. I miss her every single day I am alive. I am going forward with wonderful memories!

It’s always a great day when we see Toni, Brad could have you pick something more romantic.

These two are so romantic and in love that it’s impossible not to love them. Really, really sweet.

When I saw this I couldn’t help but think about how much they both have changed. If they were real people, I would love to have them as friends.

For some, 70 years together sounds good.
To some, 7 days together is too long.
