Nope, I'm still not done yet with Valentine's Day even though it was two days ago! Came across this Star Online article yesterday. It's about an old couple who live day-by-day taking care of each other, making a living from collecting and selling recyclable items with their rusty bicycle.The wife: He is my husband. It is my responsibility to care for him and to love him, no matter what.
The husband commented that "couples like them do not know much about lovey-dovey words."
The husband: But I will take care of her until I die because I am her man and she is my woman. Isn’t that enough?
And what makes this really touching is, the husband is blind since more than a decade ago when he underwent cataract surgery. He was supposed to be resting in bed - doctor's orders. The wife went out to wash dishes in a restaurant to earn a living. Being responsible, he disobeyed orders and went back to work at a construction site where he suddenly collapsed and never gained his sight again (due to over-exertion causing veins in his eyes to burst).
