I have been meaning to write about this for a while now, but just have not taken the time. When I sat down to blog this morning, it was the one thing that kept coming to my mind.
A couple weeks ago, Ken and I were driving to "our dirt" for a quick check to see how things were going. As we were heading down a street, getting ready to make a right hand turn, we were caught at a light. What I witnessed at that light was so beautiful. There was a man and a woman, both of them obviously physically handicapped. They were both on scooters, and the woman, if memory serves me correctly, was blind. She as hitched to his scooter and he helped her along as they crossed this very busy intersection and made their way along the road. It was obvious to me, not sure how, that these two people were together. Not just as friends, but linked, somehow inexorably. The way he turned to check on her, and her apparent complete trust in him to simply be tethered to him as they traversed traffic, or whatever may come at them. It really was quite a sight.
typically, I would have made nothing of it at all, I think. But on that day, in that moment, I found such beauty in what I saw, that I HAD to share it with you. NOTHING should get in the way of life, love and living! Now go out there and LIVE.

I had a similar moment like this not too long ago, but the characters were a sweet old couple. I started to cry. You could feel the relationship, it was very moving.
What a great post. Makes me feel a Christmas spirit.
