No visitors allowed at the nursing home....so he had to wait outside.

This breaks my heart.

I saw this on Good Morning America and almost cried.

Bob Shellard was visiting his wife Nancy in her nursing home for their wedding anniversary on March 14, but when the home banned visitors due to coronavirus, so Bob came up with the idea of standing outside the window with a sign.

Bob is 90, and Nancy is 88 and they have been married for 67 years. The couple has four children, nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren with one on the way.
