I saw true love last night
Despite the cliché title,
I truly witnessed a love that brought me to tears when I got home from work last night.
I work as a waiter at a hotel.
Last night,this elderly(Late 60's/Early 70's), seemingly wealthy couple came into the restaurant and my co-worker seated them.
We usually do our own tables, but because we were so busy last night,we helped each other out.
At one point,the elderly couple signaled to me that they were ready to order.
Once again we were super busy,I usually find it rude when people go out of their way to make their order, but once I took their order I understood why.
The husband began ordering and started stuttering to an extent I've never heard before.
It was very clear that he had a speech disorder.
I could tell the wife had told her husband very extensively what she wanted, as a way for him to practice ordering.
It took a while for him to order, and in the meantime, she was sitting there, and she looked so proud, and content, despite her husband's immense stammering.
