An interesting love story has sparked emotional outbursts online after it was revealed that an old man aged 75-years passed away just two days after he reconnected with and remarried his ex-wife.

According to the story shared by Mail Online, the couple reconnected again five years ago after Patty sent Eddie a birthday message saying:

"Happy birthday to my favorite ex-husband."

This brought them together again. In 2021, Eddie was diagnosed with Cancer and later Covid-19. It was when he was on his hospital bed that he proposed to Patty through a text message that reads:

"Can you check and see if there is a way for us to get married long distance."

Replying to the proposal, Patty texted back:

"Yes Chuck. On way to check. Love you."

And so the couple were joined together in marriage at MountainView Hospital, Las Vegas, Nevada. Eddie was still on his hospital bed when the marriage happened. Sadly, two days later, he passed away.
