A Story and a Song...

Today i took the girls to the mall. After i picked up a few things i needed we went to food court to get Mcdonalds chicken nuggetts and cheeseburgers of course:o) i had a grilled turkey sub from charleys ...so we were sitting there eating our lunch and i noticed this elderlycouple walk by very slowly and hand and in hand... they looked so sweet and so in love that i had to go over and talk to them and ask how long they were married and express how amazed i was to see them walk holding hands....They have been married 55 years... he was 91 and she was 88 and were blessed with 4 children...i did tell them that i thought they were such a cute couple and congratulations on their long marriage .. and it made me smile to see the smiles on their faces and the love in their hearts for eachother....i am sorry i did not sit and talk with them for a while , because i have a few questions now i would of wanted to ask....1.) how did you meet,

2.) what was the secret of a long marriage , 3.) and were the"little things "you did for eachother matter the most?... the last question i would of asked.. but would not of had to .. because i saw it.. they were obviously" forever and true sole mates"......and have always known it in their hearts what a treasure they have found in each other......i truly wish this sweet couple many more happy years !! and i wished i would have taken their picture .

it was funny this happened today because the lyrics to a song caught my attention today .. and it is about what is really important ...."The Love We Make " by Rodney Atkins...(and i truly believe it is the little things that do matter most)

"The Love We Make.

I'm not the man you see in all those movies...Or read about in all those fashion magazines....I won't build you monuments.....Or fill your purse with rubies....Baby that's not me....But I will hold you while you're sleeping....And I will be there when you wake...And we can fill up the whole world with all the love we make.....I may never be a man of great position.....Never be a new aged sensitive guy....,but I will hear you every time you whisper....I'll feel it when you cry.....And I will hold you while you're sleeping....and I will be there when you wake...And we can fill the seven seas with all the love we make....Till the last day of forever I know we'll be joined together.... And I will stand by you , I'll be loving you and I will hold you while you're sleeping...and I will be there when you wake...and we can fill up the whole world...with all the love we make...
