The craziest thing I’ve read all day is how Barbara Orbison, Roy’s wife, died on Tuesday, exactly 23 years to the day after Roy.
I realize that this is just a crazy coincidence and none of us ever have a say on when our time is up, especially with cancer. That being said, it’s kind of beautiful in a way? Like when one half of a really old married couple dies and then the other passes soon after? Not that I believe in this (in fact, it becomes pretty ridiculous if I think about it too much), but I like the idea of people “joining” each other in the next life.
I also just like the symmetry of two people being joined together forever on their wedding day and then also sharing the same date in death.
