Andy And Kate

Thanks Tas....they were very special.

Love this story.

Gypsydreaming, I agree, aging has a way of "mellowing" and freeing us to be who we really are.



Chocolatesmiley, they both lived into their 90's. Kate died first, Andy shortly after but the years they had together were good ones. Kate had her garden, Andy had his truck ...they were a pleasure to see.



Onceandfutureglow, I never thought of it that way but you're right...they do restore our faith. There were real people living a simple life...with love.



Salar, it is.

Thanks all! :)

The way it is Frito......

Such a beautiful story, Frito. Thank you for posting this. I think we all need to read things like this from time to time. Just to restore our faith in humanity, and in love.

Awwwww!!! That's so sweet.. I want to hear they are still alive and happy together!! I just think that's adorable how he didn't believe in God but he respected that she did and had his little nap in the car while waiting for her it sounded so like my dad actually that would be completely him, a man of few words yet he would do that in an instant for my mom. That really is love, accepting each other so completely, respecting each others differences and supporting each other through thick and thin. CUTE!!

Gypsydreaming, YES!! I like your point about the "walls" being down and understanding what's truly important. :)

All1rog what a great quote!! And so often so true...my parents used to actually talk about who would "go" first...neither wanted to be left behind...I think, like your quote indicates, it's a pretty comment sentiment. Thanks.



Freelancerr, thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed the story.

Thanks Trailguide., they really were. :)



LV,, I agree...it's as if we find what we don't have in the person we love and so do they. Thanks. :)



And Vera24love, hahaha you really do have the wrong social network site and definitely the wrong person.

Thank you your story. I love life and your story

What a beautifully descriptive evocation of love: somehow, all the more moving when it involves an elderly couple, like this, who probably keep each other going. The following quote, from a gravestone, was written about 400 years ago and perfectly illustrates what so often happens when one elderly person is bereaved:-



“He first deceased; she for a little tried to live without him, liked it not, and died."

Hello dear

Your Age, race and marital status are not factors in who I write to you.My name is vera suah i am 24 old young girl. I need someone who will treat me like a lady.You sound as a man of my dream in your contact today and it sounds good about you thats why I contacted you for relationships.I have my preferences, and I do not think it is necessary for love to be segrigated by Age. Every woman all have a man of her dream.Sorry my profile is not enough here but will tell you more details about me and my photos if you find time to write me on on my email address at (vera.suah@/y/a/h/o/o/.c/o/m/) Yours sweet heart vera

I think sometimes these little differences between people make their life more colorful,
