People Watching a Couple in their 70’s
Love at Any Age
Love at Any Age
My former fiancé and I used to people watch together and
we'd watch couples and family members and make up stories about them.
One day we saw a couple in their 70s and they were so gentle and tentative with each other. The gentleman helped her to the table. He took out her chair for her and helped her sit down. They seemed so sweet and caring of one another. As they ate, they couldn't keep their eyes off each other. They would reach across the table to touch as they talked. It was quite beautiful to watch.
We wondered how a couple that had been together so many years could be so sweet to each other. Then, we couldn't help ourselves,and had to go over and introduce ourselves to the couple. We found out that they were actually on a first date. They had known each other peripherally for years and we're finally going out.
It reminds me that you could have love and tenderness at any
age and you should never give up searching and trying for love.
