His Wife Of 69 Years Dies, Then Daughter Immediately Says, ‘Look At Dad’s Hand’

Noah and Allie, the main characters of The Notebook, had a love so unbreakable that they died in each other’s arms. As you’re about to see, real-life couple Teresa and Issac Vatkin shared a similar type of love.

Teresa and Issac at a party when they were living in Argentina. Two years later, they were engaged.

They went on to spend 69 years as a happily married couple. They moved to the United States in the 60s and raised three children.

Though their health took a turn for the worse, their love remained strong. The Daily Herald reports: “When Teresa developed Alzheimer’s disease, Isaac, who was in his 80s, learned how to work a computer so he could research the condition and possible cures. He was desperate to help his wife and stubbornly fought the children when they suggested Teresa move out and get specialized care. After he finally gave in, he visited her every day, still wanting to take care of her.”
