Together

Every morning on my way to work, I drive past the same elderly couple walking together down the road. Exercise, I guess. But without fail, they are there together, bundled against the elements, walking. Then this morning, for the first time, I saw the old woman walking alone.

Hope you went home and hugged your wife. No fair making me sad first thing in the morning, Mister.
This was lovely. Spare, touching, real.
