I Love to See Old Married Couples Hold Hands

Two nights ago I went to my great uncle's funeral visitation. There was no weeping, anguish, or loneliness. Instead, there were sad smiles and joyful tears mingled on faces as people reverantly and softly spoke of the family's " Love...

It truly is an anomaly in a world such as ours these days to see a truly happy couple...divorce seems more common than having a dog.

An old couple was coming up on their seventieth anniversary. They had been married since she was 20 and he was 21. As they aged, she began taking care of him and seeing to it that he had everything he needed. While taking care of him...

It seriously warms my heart to see an old couple hold hands, one time I saw an old Asian couple hold hands as they were trying to find a seat together on the bus.. It gives me hope that love will last forever.

I think it's so encouraging to see old couples who still show affection.  It's proof that people can love eachother till the very end.

I saw you walking towards me, I knew it was you even though you were far away.
The way you walk, it is unmistakable.
You always make my heart jump for what I see.
It never gets old, mundane, boring.
Even though I am sometimes very...

I love looking at very old people holding hands or staring  at each other with tenderness.
I want a love like this: a complicity that lasts over time. I think people overestimates the youthfulness' passion. Real love is when you want...

I adore seeing elderly couples hug, kiss, and hold hands. I say to myself, "I want to be like that someday, with the one I love." I think it shows me that true love has the ability to endure the test of time.
