Carol, 78, and Mick, 80, will celebrate 58 years of marriage in June after meeting in 1966. They have been living apart for the last four years due to Carol's dementia, but Mick visits her every day at Oakview Manor Care Home. Despite Carol's memory lapses, they always have a lovely time together.
Two Glasgow sweethearts have proven that love conquers all as they celebrate 58 years married despite living apart.
Sadly, the pair have been forced to live apart for the last four years while Carol resides at Oakview Manor Care Home in Glasgow. Since moving there in 2021 due to her dementia, Carol has been visited by Mick every single day without fail. The couple share a daughter and a son together, and they describe feeling lucky to have five wonderful grandkids. Mick regularly visits the home with their daughter and often share Carol's favourite treat – an upside-down pineapple cake.
“The staff are such a great support both to Carol and to me and they make me feel at home as much as they do Carol. It can be hard sometimes to navigate the new way our relationship works but the staff at the home have been brilliant at helping us.”
