and then the clouds broke

I was walking down Barrington Street today and saw an old couple holding hands as they crossed the street. They looked to be somewhere in their late 60s, maybe early 70s and I thought it was really sweet. Sortof one of those special things, to see two elderly people that love one another. So many people have trouble finding and staying in love, it's always nice to see someone that it's working for. It was also cute that both the ladies had purses on with rainbows stitched along the straps. It's pride week here in halifax and rainbows are the order of the day, but this was a bit more special for me. Call me an old softy, but what can I say... I was moved. So kudos to you ladies, you had me grinning like a monkey all day long.
