Hospital bends rules to allow 96-year-old to be with 92-year-old wife

Tom and Arniesteen Clark have only been apart once over the past 68 years they've been married.

It was when Tom, an Army veteran, was stationed in Korea.

Aside from that, they've never left each other's side -- that is, until they both landed in the hospital last week.

In a post that touched the hearts of thousands around the world, Piedmont Fayette Hospital shared the Fayetteville, Georgia, couple's story in a Facebook post.

The fact that they aren't used to being separated "made their stay in different rooms in the hospital very difficult for them," the post explained.

  1. This should be an automatic deal with any married folks hospitalized together.

  2. 3:12 I agree completely! and what's with the single beds? They should have double beds at the very least. They need to be together, always.

    There is no way to have a double bed in a hospital. If there is a medical emergency they need to be able to access both sides of the bed. You can't do that in a double bed without climbing over the other person risking them being hurt.
