Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Romance


--by fmesh, posted Mar 27, 2015
I was sitting in a coffee shop sipping on my decaf and simply watching the world go by. My eyes caught sight of a very mature couple. I knew this as their hair was very white and they were slightly hunched over. They stopped and seemed to be looking around, perhaps lost? Who knows? But what made me smile was.....they were holding hands. Was it the many years they were together or was this a fairly new romance. I wondered, as the smile on my face lingered and together they walked away.

They were such an amazing loving couple with deep affection for each other. I still remember more than 20 years later that they too would often be holding hands. I couldn't help but think all those years ago that it was an amazing blessing to be that much in love at their age. Thank you for reminding me of this.
