Some people say there’s no such thing as true love. Perhaps they are eternally cynical or just haven’t found the right person yet. If you’ve ever doubted the power of love, we’d like to introduce you to a man named Colin. The 82-year-old shared with @oldfriendclub that if he could time-travel, he’d go back to the first time he danced with his wife.

He said she was the only woman he ever wanted. But after he got her, “she died,” he said through tears. The touching moment was shared on Instagram by @pubity, and it got so many people right in the feels. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pubity (@pubity) Colin’s Love for His Wife Will Never Die The clip is only a few seconds long, but in that time, we can see just how much Colin’s late wife meant to him.

It’s the kind of love we see in the movies. So many chase that connection, and Colin was lucky enough to have it. Seeing the elderly man break down in tears thinking about the love of his life brought out emotions in many people. “’I got her.

And then she died’ absolutely tore me,” someone wrote. “Welp, that’s one cry down out of my daily goal,” another person admitted. This man understands just how Colin feels about his wife. “I have been married to my wife for 35 years.

I was even at school with my wife. Walking in this earth without her is utterly unconscionable. I feel his pain and I still have my wonderful woman waiting for me at home every day,” he wrote. Another follower left a very kind and uplifting comment for Colin.

“I know she’s taking care of her man from wherever she’s at. That kind of love transcends time & dimensions,” they wrote. We believe in heaven and know Colin and his wife will be together again one day, dancing. This story’s featured image can be found here.
