growing old



















when searching for pictures, even looking at pictures of strangers made me tear. how often do you see old couples still so loving like this? 
im sure it is still possible. just that it seems to be getting more rare. or is it the cynicism in us that prefer thinking otherwise. 


i wonder how i would be when i grow old. how i would behave how i would look like. perhaps a burden. or perhaps well taken care of. it feels so long more to go. another 40 yrs or more. but yet looking back. 20 years of my life has just passed like that. another 20 will just pass me by just as fast. 


will i just be stuck in this mundane life? or would i be able to do something more meaningful with it for the next 20 years?


and just as importantly... i hope we will be like the couple in this picture. old and grey with wrinkles. yet. the twinkle and love in the expression says it all.
