Husband Learns to Style Beloved Wife’s Hair When She Could No Longer Do It after Stroke

Many might think that happily-ever-afters are only found in books, movies, and TV series. Astonishingly, the couple in today's story were fortunate to experience a profoundly heartwarming connection that inspired countless others.

Andrew and Theresa, from San Antonio, Texas, were not your average couple. The sweethearts had always had each other's backs and maintained a special connection that amazed anyone who met them. Their love, commitment, and devotion were evident in the little things they did for each other.

The couple's foundation was so firm that when Theresa suffered a stroke in 2000, her loving husband gladly stepped up to take care of her. Without a word of complaint, he was always there to help her out, staying true to the vows he had exchanged with her at their marriage.

A Devoted Husband

And so, through thick and thin and in sickness and good health, the lovebirds continued to hold hands, emerging solid and undefeated. Like a devoted life partner, Andrew was always beside his wife, assisting her with everyday tasks and ensuring that she never felt alone.

Seeing his diligence and care for his beloved wife, a hairstylist from the salon, Andrea Gomez, thought of helping Andrew and made him a handsome offer.

His unwavering commitment was evident from the fact that he accepted the job of a bus driver because the schedule allowed him to be close to Theresa and tend to her needs. Without a frown, he took on her caretaker's role and performed it to the best of his abilities.

A Mother's Day Present

Everyone, including their children, family, friends, and even strangers, were stunned every time they saw the couple together. Although Andrew had learned to help his wife with nearly everything over time, there was one department where he seemed to be lacking a little.

It all began when the pair's children surprised Theresa with a heart-melting gift on Mother's Day 2018. They gave their mom a voucher for The Foundry Salon in New Braunfels, Texas. When she returned home, she was ecstatic and couldn't stop gushing over her gorgeous new look.

A Lesson in Hairstyling & Love

Theresa loved her hairdo so much that she tried to recreate it at home in the days to come. Unfortunately, her mobility issues made things cumbersome, and she could not achieve the hair of her dreams. Seeing his wife's predicament, Andrew knew he had to do something. And that was precisely what he did.

Andrew went to the same salon to cheer up his beautiful wife and bought all the hair products to create the perfect hairstyle at home. While it was easy to make the purchase, the Texas man still struggled to master the technique.

Seeing his diligence and care for his beloved wife, a hairstylist from the salon, Andrea Gomez, thought of helping Andrew and made him a handsome offer. She told the devoted husband she would be delighted to give him a tutorial so he could replicate the same hairdo for Theresa.

The Heartwarming Moment

The next day, Andrew brought along his wife, and Andrea gave him a step-by-step live demonstration. The sweet moment was captured in a video shared on Facebook by another stylist from the same salon.

Raigan Kelley, who posted the video on her account, doted over the couple and called Theresa "one lucky woman" for having an amazing husband like Andrew. Kelley said the heartwarming moment brought tears to her eyes and was "proof that true love really exists."

His Parents' Reaction

Many salon workers were astounded by Andrew's willingness and dedication to learn the hairstyling technique and called him a great student. The couple's son, Steve, noted that his parents were initially confused and didn't know how to respond to their video clip going viral.

However, when they realized the growing impact of their story and how it touched millions of viewers worldwide, they were humbled. With so much negativity, chaos, and uncertainty in the world, Steve said he was relieved that "for the first time that I can see in a while, people actually enjoyed something nice."

Appreciation for the Dedicated Husband

The San Antonio duo's touching story continued to make rounds on social media, captivating hearts with its powerful message of love. Several netizens couldn't keep themselves from showering praise and appreciation on the sweet couple:
