Earlier today, I wrote about a man who met his fate by having his balls squeezed for five minutes straight and it was a bit grim. My day has been restored, though, by the news that a couple who had been together since high school and married for 58 years then died within hours of each other.

George and Ora Lee Rodriquez passed away hand-in-hand in a San Antonio hospital.

The high school sweethearts had been suffering from dementia. George recently had a stroke and died in his sleep, followed by Ora Lee three hours later.

It was just a week after their 58th wedding anniversary.

Daughter Corina Martinez said: "I just can't believe something like this would ever happen, you hear this on the movies ... like The Notebook.

"We had them here at the house, in their hospital beds, right beside each other. They were holding hands."
