Love conquers all

He's 93 and she's 87. Though they've been family friends for a long time, my visit was unplanned and I ended up at their house, I'm ashamed to say... also driven by hunger. My mum suggested I stop by as it was their 63rd Wedding anniversary.. so that I did.

What I saw made my heart melt... and any doubts I had about the sanctity of the institution of marriage were put to rest. I wondered if they make them like this anymore.. LOL. As age does to the best of us he is not as active as he used to be but she has dedicated her life to making him comfortable. Even when she had an accident and damaged her knee a few months ago, she refused to say in hospital because she had to go home and take care of him. I watched them as they sat there holding hands it had a profound effect on me.

 

Surely this is what it's all about.. after all those years.. for better for worse.. in sickness and in health.. They've seen Salone through its best.. and worst.. and they're still standing. Still together... dressed in "wan kine" aschobi.

I'd been thinking this is something that should be shared and what better day than today. Happy Valentine's Day folks.. best wishes to you and yours.. Love is alive.

Gramma Milli and Grampa George.. Happy Valentines day to you!!!
