Dr. & Mrs. Young

Mom and I met a very cute couple today at Oakland's Chinatown. We were sitting in front of the library this afternoon and we saw a very happy looking couple walking towards us.

He was holding her hand and they looked very much in love. Both were smiling when they walked towards us and sat down at the green metal bench. She was wearing a purple sweater and he was wearing a nice dark suit. I smiled at them and they smiled back. I looked at mom and we both smiled at them.

We kept smiling at them because they were so beautiful so finally they walked over and we moved over to be next to them. We said hi and we started talking. They told us that they live right at the tall building over there and they come down pretty often. They go to church and they loved to dance as well as walking around. We talked about the economy, where we'd lived, and how many languages we can speak. It was a very nice time and the conversation was very happy.

I couldn't help myself but to tell them that they looked so sweet and cute together. Mom and I also complemented on how beautiful her long hair was. Actually they both have beautiful hair. Hers was long & flowy and his was nicely trimmed - silver. Mr. Young is now 84 and I am sure Mrs. Young is somewhere up there.

A very lovely couple and a very sweet encounter. May God bless them and bless those who are blessed because of their love for one another.
