Rowena House Care Home, part of the Runwood Homes Group, are proud to celebrate the enduring love story of Julie and Billy, a couple whose 37-year relationship continues to inspire residents and staff alike.
Julie and Billy first met in a café in their village when Billy was enjoying coffee and cake with his sister. While Julie smiles as she says it ‘was not love at first sight,’ she shares that love blossomed very quickly between them. What began as a simple meeting soon grew into a lifelong partnership built on kindness, loyalty, and deep affection.
When asked what she loves most about Billy, Julie’s answer is heartfelt and sincere: “He is so kind and has been very good to me.”
Julie has been a resident at Rowena House for the past two years, and Billy’s dedication has never wavered. He walks to visit Julie three to four times each week, ensuring they continue to spend precious time together. Their regular visits are filled with warmth, conversation, and the quiet strength of a bond that has stood the test of time.
Their story is a beautiful reminder that true love grows stronger through the years. At Rowena House, we are honoured to witness and support Julie and Billy’s remarkable journey together, a testament to enduring commitment and lasting companionship.
This heartwarming story is being shared as part of Runwood Homes’ company-wide initiative, Valentine’s Takeover at Runwood Homes, a special week dedicated to celebrating love in all its forms, from friendship and companionship to kindness and care across Runwood Homes’ communities.
