the best old couple living

unable to walk nor sit and stand by her own support struck her badly. her husband, in a bad health condition, in and out of the hospital, asthma.

but still this couple fight for eachother, to take care of one another.

she has stroke. since the attack. she feels so helpless. unable to be whom she was. the fun bringer of the family. the best cook.

she lay on the bed, helplessly calling for her husband.

he comes to her as though walking from a thousand mile. catching his breath. yet he fights to get to her. he ask for her demands and told her what she wanted to hear. hands shaking, he stroke her hair and whispered that everything will turn out alright.he forgets his bad health conditions and puts first priority to his wife.

he coughs badly and i tried to sooth him by patting on his back. "dont need to do that, look after nenek instead" he told me.

i almost cried after he said that to me while he was still stroking nenek’s hair.

they are the most best old people i have ever known.
they are my grandparents.
and i love them very much
