It reminded me of this other older couple I met many years ago. I was working at a fast food court in college, and the grandpa ordered two coffees for himself and grandma. I asked if they'd want milk or sugar with it.
He replied, "Two sugars for me, none for her. She's sweet enough already!" Awwww.
Came across this post today. Yes I know it's tempting to just see the pictures without reading the story first (can't help it, I'm a photographer even if I am not actively taking photographs. Guess once a photographer, always a photographer?) but trust me, do read the story, then the pictures become even more meaningful and emotional.
Yes I got teary. Yes there is still love like this among us.

Wow how lovely, but seriously Christa I didn't need tears first thing in the morning. :-)
ReplyDeleteI have to say I love seeing elderly couples together holding hands, it melts my heart every time.
BTW - I won't recommend Comfort and Joy to you :-) and I stopped reading Good Grief. 24 hours so far is amazing....
Thanks for linking to that post, it was just beautiful. I'm all teary-eyed now.
