The couple I know who are still in love more than they were before
The couple I know who still argue and laugh at the same time
The couple I know who still send each other letters through snail mails
The couple I know who still have affection with each other more than ever
The couple I know who enjoys growing old together
The couple I know who  enjoy simple things together
The couple I know who drink coffee twice a day together, one in the morning, one in the afternoon
The couple I know who doesn’t have pet names for each other, but when they call each other’s names, it sounds so special
The couple I know who reads the morning paper together
The couple I know wherein the one nags, the other one shuts up and kiss the other, then laugh.
The couple I know who remained faithful to each other
The couple I know who laughed at the silliest things together even if it has been told over and over
The couple I know who’s smiles only are reserved for one another
The couple I know who still whispers “I love you” before going to bed and one more “I love you” upon waking up
The couple I know who’s eyes glisten when they hear each other’s voice
The couple I know wherein when the one plays the piano, the other one sings                 The couple I know who listen to oldies but goodies sunday music and dance
The couple I know wherein the one invites the other to dance for no apparent reason, just because they feel like it
The couple I know who will stay in love with each other forever.

Mom and Dad.

You inspire me so much to dream and to cling on to hope, even when sometimes it seems like there is none.

“The question is asked, “Is there anything more beautiful in life than a boy and a girl clasping clean hands and pure hearts in the path of marriage? Can there be anything more beautiful than young love?”

And the answer is given. “Yes, there is a more beautiful thing. It is the spectacle of an old man and an old woman finishing their journey together on that path. Their hands are gnarled, but still clasped; their faces are seamed, but still radiant; their hearts are physically bowed and tired, but still strong with love and devotion for one another. Yes, there is a more beautiful thing than young love. Old love.”-anonymous
