Nibbles & Kisses
Grandma and Grandpa were sitting in their porch rockers watching the beautiful sunset and reminiscing about “the good old days,” when Grandma turned to Grandpa and said, “Honey, do you remember when we first started dating and you used to just casually reach over and take my hand?”
Grandpa looked over at her, smiled and obligingly took her aged hand in his.
With a wry little smile, Grandma pressed a little farther, “Honey, do you remember how after we were engaged, you’d sometimes lean over and suddenly kiss me on the cheek?”
Grandpa leaned slowly toward Grandma and gave her a lingering kiss on her wrinkled cheek.
Growing bolder still, Grandma said, “Honey, do you remember how, after we were first married, you’d kind of nibble on my ear?”
Grandpa slowly got up from his rocker and headed into the house.
Alarmed, Grandma said, “Honey, where are you going?”
Grandpa replied, “To get my teeth!”

It sounds like the music behind Lin’s words may be a melancholy tune. I’m sorry if her desire or ability to act on the “want to” has left. Sometimes it does fade and wane yet it never goes away.

This is truly sweet and beautiful. To think that the elderly still have these types of feelings for each other, continue on my beloved elders, life is precious, life is sweet, continue to show us how happy we can all be as we grow old gracefully.

It’s a blessing to grow old gracefully and have the strong feelings of love and care for each other. Love in the Lord together does this!
