Grandad’s tear-jerking final message to his wife discovered with his will

He attached the note to his will so that his wife could find it

A grandson shared a heartbreaking note that his grandad wrote for his wife just before he died.

Sometimes people say that old, romantic love is hard to find these days, and if this is anything to go by, then we're probably not wrong.

Leaving notes around the house for your significant other to find is a cute form of affection, but this grandad surpassed all levels of romance with his endearing gesture.

Taking to Reddit, a grandson shared a small note his grandad left for his wife, with the knowledge that she would find it when he had eventually passed.

He even attached it to his will to make sure she was the person to find it.

It's actually a sweet reminder that the materialistic things we have in life mean nothing without the people that we love dearly.

Grab the tissues - it's a tear-jerker.

In his handwriting, he wrote: "This I will remember when the rest of life is through: The finest thing I have ever done is simply loving you."

*Cue collective sobbing*

One person in the comments said: "Im not crying, you're crying."

Another added: "I want this so bad.

"I will have it one day, but right now, I'm working on myself.

"This really did make me smile."

People in the comments were quick to share their grandparents' romance stories.

One said: "My grandfather's handwriting looked just like this with the random capital letters and very straight lines.

"I wonder if it is generational? He was a romantic too.

"My grandmother died after giving birth to my mom, and he still kept her picture on his bedside table and didn't take off his wedding ring for the next forty years until he died. He was a very loving man."

But others suggested that the reason we don't see this kind of love in 2024 very often, could be because we're all just a bit more awkward about expressing how we feel.

One shared: "My boyfriend and I both get somewhat awkward about expressing deep emotions sometimes, though we both know they're present.

"What he does that I love is leave little sticky notes around in places I'll find them. "They don't have to be poetic or profound, just something to say 'I was thinking of you,' it's cute.

"You don't have to be emotionally articulate to express how you feel."

Note to all boyfriends: get the sticky notes out ASAP.
