'You're never too old for love in your life'

Last night I was taking a walk around the Islamic Museum Park, when I saw something so touching and was as refreshing as I was so grumpy feeling the suffocating dead-air humidity at the park... anyways so here’s what happened...

There was this elderly couple using a walker. since the old man was carrying his wife’s hand baggage he could not assist his wife and she fell on the grass and was too frightened to get up, luckily I was sitting on the only person around and seeing her fall I ran towards the couple to help her get up but she refused to as she was too scared so I had to call security.
Anyways she was safe but the way the old couple hugged each other after the escapade was soooooooo heart warming.. Am sure they would have not even held hands in public (well am guessing from the conservative dress code they followed) and just then when they thought either one was hurt the spurt of emotions was very endearing...

I was so touched by their display of emotions... I too came home and hugged everyone... lol hates it when I do it... But what the heck ... life is too short to not show love for ur dear ones...

Love does not need age, the older u are the stronger is the bond. Just open up your eyes feel the love, the love is in the air..........

Arien said so correctly. So true old age is not so cheerful for everyone...but this couple seems so full of love and may Allah bless them always...

dude i hate to be rude but you're one of the most whiny and negative people i've ever seen on the internet..maybe review your last 50 posts and see how you crib about all that's wrong with Qatar and the whole wide world..compare your comment on this post with all the others..the complete irrelevance of it to the original topic begs disbelief..seriously, spare us the misery will you?..God in heaven!

The bond grows stronger day by day. When they grow old and when their grown up kidoes starts living away, it further grows. The irony is the terrible feeling of who will call it a day first and who would be the unfortunate to remain alone.

Very touching and TFS MN

And now you can understand how WEIRD this culture really is.

They were lucky no CID officer was around. Kissing and hugging in public result in one year imprisonment and following deportation!
