@didyoucatchthis: A Love Story's Final Chapter: Lucy and Desi's Poignant Goodbye Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, the iconic duo behind "I Love Lucy," shared a complex and enduring love story. Though divorced in 1960, their connection remained. This was poignantly evident in their final exchange, which took place on a significant date - their 46th wedding anniversary, November 30, 1986. Arnaz was battling lung cancer, and his health was deteriorating. Their daughter, Lucie Arnaz, described a phone call where she held the receiver to her father's ear so he could hear his ex-wife's voice. Lucille simply yet powerfully said, "I love you," five times. Desi, weak but resolute, responded with, "I love you too, honey." These tender words, spoken unknowingly on their anniversary, became their final farewell. Desi passed away two days later. The depth of their bond was further revealed by a heartfelt message Desi penned for Lucille. Though details remain private, it was intended for the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony, where Lucille was to be recognized for her comedic genius. Tragically, Desi wouldn't be there. His friend, actor Robert Stack, read the message on December 7, 1986, a mere five days after Desi's passing. The exact contents haven't been made public, but it surely expressed Desi's admiration and affection for the woman who, on screen and off, had brought laughter to millions. Lucille and Desi's love story, though ultimately one of separate paths, ended with a touch of grace. Their final exchange, a simple expression of love on their anniversary, and Desi's heartfelt tribute, both spoke volumes about the enduring connection between these two comedy legends. #foryou #tvclips #tvshow #ilovelucy
