Last Monday, the state of Connecticut’s department of public health restricted visits to all nursing homes amid concerns about the spread of COVID-19 infection. But that couldn’t stop Bob and Nancy Shellard from celebrating their 67th wedding anniversary.

Bob stood outside his wife’s nursing home in Vernon, Conn., holding a sign that read: “I’ve loved you 67 years and still do. Happy Anniversary.” Nancy, looking down from her window, waved and blew him kisses, WVIT in Hartford, Conn., reported.

“It makes me feel bad because I want her down with me and I know she can’t be,” Bob told the outlet. “I wouldn’t want anybody else. I don’t think she could put up with anybody else besides me.”
