FORT GRATIOT TOWNSHIP, Mich. - A Michigan man decided to get a job at his wife’s nursing home after he was unable to visit her because facilities restricted in-person visits due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The couple, Larry and Carol Burnett, were reunited for the first time in months, the Times Herald of Port Huron reported. Carol Burnett, 80, is a resident at Regency-on-the-Lake in Fort Gratiot, and Larry Burnett, 83, now works there in the activities department.
When he visited his wife a few weeks ago, they spent most of the time catching up. He even said some tears were shed.
“First, I said I was afraid I’d never see her again because of the virus,” Larry Burnett said of their reunion. “She said she agreed with that, she had the feeling that we’d never see each other again that one of us, one of the other, would have passed away.”
