Man's reaction to his wife of 63 years trying on a wig after chemo treatment says it all
Few couples make it to 60 years of marriage‚ as either divorce or death usually hit before that milestone. So it's a rare treat to get to see a couple who's been married that long interact with one another. That's one reason a video shared by a woman named Jennifer (@jennjensc) on TikTok has so many people talking. The other reason is that it's a just hilariously delightful. &;quot;My parents have been married 63 years. My mom was recently diagnosed with lung cancer. She’s doing chemo and radiation and smiling all she can&;#33;” Jennifer wrote in the caption. In the video‚ Jennifer tells her dad‚ &;quot;Papa‚&;quot; that &;quot;Nana&;quot; is trying on her new wig. &;quot;So be encouraging‚&;quot; Jennifer says‚ to which he responds‚ &;quot;She's trying on wigs&;#63; That's good.&;quot;To his credit‚ he tried to be encouraging…which lasted about two seconds once he saw her. When Nana came through the doorway with a long‚ braided black wig parted down the middle‚ her husband said‚ &;quot;Well‚ look at that…&;quot; And then honesty hit‚ followed by peals of laughter.

When you've been together with someone for over six decades‚ there's not a lot that you can hide from one another‚ and this entire interaction proof. The sheer honesty of &;quot;I don't believe I like that‚&;quot; and &;quot;You look like Willie Nelson&;#33;&;quot; are so real‚ and the fact that they busted out laughing together speaks to the power of humor in a lasting relationship. &;quot;He was really ready in his heart to try and be encouraging 😂😂😂‚&;quot; wrote one commenter.&;quot;They are the cutest&;#33; I love how he started “ohhh‚ look at that&;#33;” And then couldn’t even handle lying to her 😂😂😂‚&;quot; wrote another.&;quot;He made her LAUGH‚ which is way better than lying â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸&;quot; shared another.&;quot;I love this. You can tell there’s a lot of love with all the laughter‚&;quot; shared another.And it doesn't end there. Nana took the Willie Nelson bit even further in a follow-up video that showcases just how much humor plays a role in their lives.

Today nan finshed the halfway mark of chemo and radiation. She is feeling great. She so enjoys akl tge comments prayers and good vibes &;#33; #nana #papa #willie #journey #chemo #radation #lungcancer #faith #laughter#love
Nana and Papa‚ who are 81 and 83 respectively‚ were high school sweethearts. They met at a roller rink‚ &;quot;and we've been going 'round together ever since‚&;quot; Nana said in another video. &;quot;Sometimes we've been goin' 'round and 'round‚&;quot; she added with a giggle. The two really are an adorable couple‚ and as people have shared in the comments‚ they're an inspiration for what a relationship can be even after over 60 years together. The most common wedding vow includes the phrase &;quot;in sickness and in health‚&;quot; and the fact that these two are still having so many laughs together as Nana goes through radiation and chemotherapy exemplifies that phrase. They've been a team for almost their entire lives‚ and a cancer diagnosis isn't going to get in the way of that. You can follow more of Nana's and Papa's love story on Jennifer's TIkTok here.
