Meet the married couple in their 90s that still can’t do without each other

Georgia: Georgian couple, Tom Clark, 96, and his 92-year-old wife, Arnisteen Clark, have been married for 68 years and during that period they have only been separated once when Tom, an Army veteran was posted to the Korea during the Korean war.

 

The couple are presently on admission in the Piedmont Fayette Hospital and are not allowed to share the same room as the hospital policy prohibits orthopaedic patients from sharing private rooms.

 

Tom couldn't bear the thought of being away from his wife so the hospital management had to work out a visiting schedule for Tom which allows him stay with his wife for few hours.

 

Speaking to the hospital team, Tom said;

“My wife is the finest woman in the world, I just can’t be away from her.”

The hospital posted a photo of the aged couple on Facebook with the caption; ''Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery for the Clarks and many more happy years together,” and wished them a speedy recovery.

“Fayetteville residents Tom and Arnisteen Clark have been married for 68 years. The only time they have been apart during their marriage is when Tom, an Army veteran, was stationed in Korea.

“This made their stay in different rooms in the hospital very difficult for them, so Tina Mann, Manager, Orthopedics Medical-Surgical 4, with help from the clinical staff, went above and beyond to make a special arrangement for Tom, 96, to visit his wife, in her room.

“Overcome with joy, he wept as he described the deep love he has for Arnisteen, 92.
