I was driving home from work today when I drove down my street and saw an elderly gentlemen walking his wife to the door. Not only was this adorable, but the woman also used a cane and he left the car doors open so that he could walk her into the house. I'll make the assumption that he then return to close the door after he had her settled in the house.
My heart was putty is this man's hand.
He reinforced my belief in true, eternal love. That when you get married, you can have a relationship that won't end in divorce. You can grow old together and still have the same love that you had the day you got married. Or even better, a stronger love then you did when you got married. That your relationship becomes so much more then the superficial attraction. I love old couples. I loved living with my grandparents this summer and seeing the love that they have for each other. 50 years in May 2012! How exciting is that?! I love them so much.
He demonstrated that chivalry is not dead. Nor will it ever be. I am so tired of hearing girls my age say that chivalry is dead. Uh hello! It is only dead because you let it be! As long as we believe that it is possible for men to sweep us off our feet, they will aspire to reach that expectation. So, set a high bar ladies and PLEASE. PLEASE. Never settle. That just breaks my heart.
In other news: I bought a new dress today. Photos will be posted on Saturday-ish. Also, Funny Friday tomorrow will be spectacular! I am very excited!
