She hugged him. They stood watching the man. “He’s a hard worker. People now don’t work like that.”

“I wonder what it’s like. To be that old.”
“We’ll know someday.”

Happy Valentine’s Day!
Tell them to hit the gym and stay fit. Getting older and shoveling snow isn’t so bad if you do.
Nice story for Valentine’s Day.
Aww, that’s nice!

Sweet! Best together till the end!
