Kay and Malcolm Bruce have spent decades together. In "Kay and Mal" the couple discusses love, joy and the end of life. For me and my siblings, my grandparent’s relationship showed us what love looks like. As they’ve gotten older and their physical and mental needs have changed, their love and support for one another stays the same.

In recent years, Kay’s eyesight has declined, and Mal’s hearing loss has increased. In turn, they’ve started calling each other “the eyes” and “the ears” because together they have enough working senses for both of them. Even as the effects of age start settling in, the pair have never lost their sense of adventure and fun. They’ve now been to every continent and every U.S. state. If they ever find themselves at a theme park they’ll still hop on a few roller coasters — even if waiting in the lines hurts their feet. 

At the end of the day, their love continues to grow for each other even after three decades of marriage. You see their love in their daily interactions. The subtle arm rubs when one passes behind the other. The smiles when they see one another at the dinner table. The way they look at each other says what words cannot describe. I’m not sure how many years they will have left, but I know that they will spend it happily together.
