1. Love until the end

    Once upon a time there was an older woman who was happy to be ninety years old, her husband and her were about to celebrate their marriage, they have been together for 60 years. She began to remember her memories together, she always cherrish the day that day they met; it was on a warm and sunny day, the sun reflected its rays on her long, curly red hair and her hair at those times had a beautiful red tone but today is white; She is an Irish woman and her husband conquered her by approaching her for the first time and telling her that the freckles on her body were a map to her heart. She blushed and accepted the invitation he made to have an ice cream together. They traveled from Ireland to Italy, ate ice cream again and spent the time together on beautiful beaches, and they got married on a sunny day of June, in an afternoon when it was her birthday and both of them were in their thirties.

    Today they are married for 60 years, they were supposed to celebrate it today but now she got angry because her husband couldn't remember her birthday or their anniversary, her husband was sleeping. He wake up and went to the window to get some fresh air, but he returned to bed without saying a word to her, when he went to bed he took his last breath, he had died of natural causes without his wife realizing it. His wife proceeded to have a normal day, bathing and getting ready to go to breakfast, which was her routine, but a new feeling of feeling forgotten by her husband was added in her, the reality was that she went to bath without knowing her husband was passed away. When bathing, the water from the shower washed away her tears, she was very sad because her husband did not hug her that whole night. She got dressed, in an angry manner she went to see what was happening with her husband, she approached the bed, “such a lazy man! He is still sleeping...", she approched to him to wake him up, it was already 11 o'clock and he was still in bed, when she got closer and moved him he didn't wake up, she kept moving him until she realized that he was no longer breathing, she stepped back and She began to cry, the love of her life love was gone, it was not her first love, but it was the absolute one that accompanied her all her life.

    Between her sadness and regret she remembered that he felt in love with her because he loved her illuminated red hair by the sun, she went to the mirror and saw that the Red hair faded over the years today it was white like the flowers in her bouquet from her wedding day, she took the scissors that she She used to cut her hair and approched to her husband, as she approached, she took the hand of her husbandand, cut off her husband's palm and she directed his bleeding hand to her head and began to dye her white hair with the blood of his love, her hair began to be again with the color which he knew her: red thanks to the blood of her husband. She looked herself in the mirror to see what part was missing to dye and the image of her husband suddenly appeared through the mirror to tell her that she was beautiful as the day he meet her, which it was 60 years ago. She was left speechless, maybe it was all in her imagination, maybe she was just tired, too much emotions for today, she returned to her bed, she lay down on top of her husband, she closed her eyes and she took her last breath, her husband didn't take too long to take her away, he just waited for her to be ready.
