Loved since childhood and married for 78 years, the Brazilian couple fulfilled the promise so often made to each other, to their family or to their adoptive family, and died on the same day. Without children, they raised and raised the children of many residents of the region.
Mamedio Alves Magalhaes, 105, died shortly after 4 am last Friday, June 30, and his lover Ana Araujo Magalhaes died four hours later, shortly after 8 am.
The couple lived all their lives in Paraná, a city of 10,000 people in the south of the state of Tocantins, in northern Brazil, and the love between the two touched nephews, other family members and acquaintances, and lasted until the last breath of life. .
Ana, in more fragile health than her husband, had not walked for a long time and spent most of her time in a state of absence, but every day, when it was dinner time, she uttered the same words, the only ones she spoke, asking, worrying, whether her husband had already been fed.
Mamedius, despite being 105 years old, still walked and spoke normally, and repeated for years that he did not want to continue living on the day the woman, more fragile, left, and fulfilled his promise. When Ana, whose fragile health worsened further in the last days of last month due to pneumonia, and the city hospital doctors in desperation sent her home so she could leave with her family, Mamedio made the decision to go with her. .
Since the return of his beloved home and knowing that she would not last many days, Mamedio stopped eating and taking medicine, and there was no one to convince him to eat or be treated, and last Thursday, June 29, he was the one who had to be hospitalized due to for his pronounced state of weakness. He ended up dying in the middle of Friday morning in the hospital, and four hours later, when family members came to Ana’s room to give her a bath, she too was dead.
