Diego and Olivia<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Age:<\/strong> 77 and 75
Occupation:<\/strong> Retired<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diego:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember the day this photo was taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’d had a huge fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A meddlesome old bastard,” she called me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I called her an old hag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, we fought a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirty-seven years of marriage will do that to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we’re both stubborn, I guess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She got ill a day after the photo shoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A little coughing, you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing serious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But then, after a couple of days, she got worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I told her to get into bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But like I said, she’s a stubborn lady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They didn’t allow me to ride in the ambulance with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She didn’t want that either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She told me to fuck off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guess she meant well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her own batshit crazy kind of way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After two days, they moved her to the ICU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She’s been there ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not allowed to visit her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too risky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hospital phones me every day to let me know how she’s doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wish I’d told her I loved her more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe held her hand more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because I do love her, you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just miss that stubborn old cow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
