So this old couple in their 80's or 90's walked into the gym today. She had a cane and casual/conservative clothes and he was wearing his old man slacks and button down short sleeve shirt. Both with grey hair. They walked hand and hand all the way to the machine next to me. I hated to stare, but his eyes never left her. He helped her onto the leg extension machine and they both started figuring out the adjustments together. He triple checked that she had the correct weights to lift and placed her hands and feet where they needed to go.
Then he just stood right beside her with his hands in his pockets, watching diligently as she did each extension. After some time she was finished, he helped her off, then they walked hand and hand to the next machine to continue her morning workout.
It was so hard to take my eyes off of them. I pray for that kind of love everyday.

Awww...here I was thinking this was going to be a typical whitty funny Katlin post and then out of nowhere it's all sweet and mushy. But thanks for sharing this story it made me all fuzzy.
