Finally reunited

A Missouri couple was given the ultimate present for their 72nd wedding anniversary by getting to reunite after not seeing each other for over a year. Virginia Byrne was unable to see her husband Jack Byrne for so long because he was living in a memory care facility in St. Louis, which had strict COVID-19 restrictions in place, and she lives on her own. But after more than a year apart, Virginia and Jack got to embrace again, and the sweet reunion happened as the pair marked 72 years of marriage.

"The lights went on again in my life because I was able to be so close to my husband for the first time in more than a year."
