Love Lives Forever
Yesterday I went on a quick trip to Melaka (again - the previous weekend I also went to Melaka with Ain for a little get away which I will post later). However yesterday I went to Melaka with my parents and my aunt. The purpose was to visit a relative that just got out from hospital from a heart attack.
I was in a bad mood because it was unplanned and of all people, it was always me that has to go. I thought I want to spend my Sunday relaxing at home. My dad said I didn't have to go I don't to but would I left them going the alone, of course not.
I was quiet in the car (show of rebellion hahah) but eventually the bad mood vanished our as we spent time in the car. As we reached the intended destination, it was always an eye opener being with the elders. I was the only one aged below 60 year old. hehehe
The couple we visited aged I don't know probably 80 plus? They are my aunt's uncles and dad. My aunt and my dad are step siblings. So anyway, I will refer to them as Great Aunt and Great Uncle.
I think I love looking at old people. As an observer than a participant, I enjoyed looking and listening to these precious people. I didn't have much expereince with old people because my family is quite "young".
However the best thing I observed was that how they care for each other. They are still in love with each other. They were sweet and soft spoken towards each other. I sat in front of them while having lunch and I was drawn to them, as both minds are still working well (they were both teachers in their prime days). Both are very wrinkled but eventhough they have the illnesses, they still look strong when speaking.
When we finished lunch, as I was doing the dishes, I saw the Great Uncle was assiting the Great Aunt getting into her wheel chair. Let me tell you, the Great Uncle was not much better than the Great Aunt but the way he helped the Great Aunt made me smile. He was careful, making sure his lady was sitted comfortably and then pushed her to the living room.
Well the emotional me of course choked up a little bit because, this is the kind of love that I hope to find one day. Be with the one you love until the old age, taking care of each other, growing old together. It doesn't really matter how you look like anymore, because both are out of shape already, wrinkled but the love still lives on and the most important is the person beside you, some one you spend your whole life with.
Would I find a love like this?
*sob*
Andddd.. I felt glad that I accompanied my parents and aunt (and felt a little bit guilty for my rude protest eheh), because I got to spend time with the elders and also see the simple act of love.
