Love is Grand!

No photos today, but I just had to write about something I saw as I was coming into work this morning that really touched my heart. As I was going about my morning routine of getting out of the car after a 45 minutes commute, locking the door and heading up to the office building, I saw a man standing at the curb on one side of his car with a woman walking towards him. They were probably about 25 feet apart. The man was short, in his mid-forties, wearing jeans and a gray sweater. He was not attractive really, but not disgusting either. I guess I would have to say he was nothing special, with the exception that he was standing with a single rose in his hand facing the woman. The woman was also short and in her mid-forties. She had short dark hair, streaked with gray, wore glasses, and well...very overweight. I doubt that anyone would say she was attractive by today's standards. The woman did have a smile on her face that got bigger as she approached the man.

When she reached the man, he said something to her, handed her the rose, and reached out to hug and kiss her. She responded by taking the rose and kissing the man back. It was a very tender and sweet moment to watch. And the funny thing about it was that this was all happening out in public view of everyone walking into the building, which at the time was about 10 people that could see what was going on. Neither one of them seemed to care, as they were both caught up in that moment on the sidewalk.

I have no idea why this man was giving this woman a rose, and no idea if they were husband and wife, lovers or friends, but I was truly touched by the scene. I'm sure that this woman feels loved today!

Witnessing this act of love reminded me of how a simple thing like this can make someone in your life feel special just for that moment, for that day or maybe even for a lifetime!

I may not go out and surprise my hubbie with a single rose today, but believe me I will show him in some special small visible way how much I love him. I hope everyone that reads this does too for the special person(s) in their lives!
