An old man...wait let me start over. A very old man stood in front of me at See's Candy yesterday. I was picking out something for my Grandmother (wink wink...ok I was) and he was picking out some chocolate for his wife. How do I know this? Because when he got to the counter he ordered his chocolate, asked for a pen and shakily wrote on a card some of the sweetest words I have ever read(...yes I peeked)
To My Loving Wife Bertha
You Have Made Me Happier Than You Will Ever Know
Love, Robert
I about teared up right then and there. He took his chocolate and hobbled out of the store, and I was left admiring a dear old man's love for his beloved wife. Thank you Robert.

What a great post Em! Thanks for reminding me of what a treasure our husbands are...young or old or very old. We are all so lucky aren't we?
I love old men!!! (Even though I married a younger man :) They inspire me for some reason! I would've peeked too, and I would have cried as I paid for my chocolates! Thanks for sharing that moment with all!!
