A long and lasting love

This is the photo of mom and dad last Aug 2012.    Due to arthritis, hip operation  and old age, mom  has been confined to her  bed most of the time.  Mom was  trying to ask Dad  some favors in this photo. She asked dad to buy her favorite food in the market to ease her bowel movement.  They are both in their mid 80s and still getting strong in their love despite their age and other related illness.

Love finds its way in communicating and extending service to the one’s we love. Lovers are not perfect, but when love is strong couples will stand by each other no matter what. With love, even little things matter… a touch, a look or a silent gesture.

Meaningful communication and small acts of endearment   are  very important for love to last. With love, couples become more  stronger in facing life’s challenges and trials.

When face become wrinkled, hair becomes gray,  looks become haggard with age or illness, true love will always stay and will find its way through lovers’ hearts.  To love and be loved is a good feeling.
