found another amazing tumblr; go here! it's amazing 'cause it captures so many of the little things in life that we take for granted, or do not fully appreciate. it made me smile to go through all the posts, and find so many things i agree with.
i chose old couples because i happened to see two sweet old couples today at the bus stop waiting for the bus to school, at almost the same time. you could see the love in the small gestures between them, and it gave me a warm fuzzy feeling just watching them.
couple #1 was a caucasian couple. i've met them once before at the same bus stop, and i noticed them because both of them are very old, and they totter along, moving slowly. today, just like the previous time, the old man flagged the bus, then turned to help the old lady to her feet. when the bus stopped and the doors opened, the old man helped the old lady up the bus by supporting her back as she got on the bus with a little difficulty. then he held her arm as they walked slowly through the bus to take a seat.
couple #2 was a chinese couple speaking hokkien, alighting from some tour bus. the old lady got off first, then turned to help the old man down. another old lady got off with them, and the three of them stood a little way from the bus stop i was sitting at, conversing in hokkien. as they talked, the old couple held each other's hand absently. and even as they walked off, they held each other's hand.
how sweet is that?! seeing such things always make me feel gooey like marshmallows over a fire.
