US couple married for 73 year REUNITE in care home after spending nearly a whole year apart | SWNS

This is the adorable moment an elderly couple married for 73 years were reunited in a care home after spending nearly a whole year apart. Joseph Andrew Bigler, 96, and Margaret Louise Baldwin Bigler, 97, were forced to live separately by the pandemic. But there wasn't a dry eye in the room when the pensioners saw each other for the first time in the care home sitting room. They embraced from their wheelchairs, burying their faces into each others shoulders, with Margaret repeating "oh my god!".

Nonagenarian Margaret was admitted to HarmarVillage Care Center in Cheswick, Pennsylvania, USA on April 7 2020 after a hospital stay.

Beloved husband Joseph was still in independent living when it turned out that Margaret needed long-term care at the care home. The coronavirus pandemic meant it would be unsafe for them to see each other, so the devastated pensioners stayed apart.

But on March 22, nearly a whole year later, Joseph was admitted to the same care home himself for skilled nursing, and they were finally able to reunite.

Margaret said it was one of the best days of her life.
