Senior love at swap meet

I am sitting across from a senior couple,snowbirds. He is 80 and she is 79 and had heart sugery in July. They have been married 58 years. She is cold. She is all wrapped up with a blanket and hooded jacket and overcoat. He is selling car parts, old oil cans and other things that I did not recognize. When she gets to cold, she goes to the car and turns on the heater. When she leaves, he sneaks over here and buys something that he thinks she will like. When I give him the neighbor discount, He says, You do not have to do that. They are from Ohio, on their way to Sarasota to spend the rest of the winter with one of their 5 adult children. I gave him a list of shows and flea markets that they might enjoy on the way down. They are so sweet and an inspiration. He reaches over to check and see if she is warm enough, she holds his hand. He told me that never kissed her until they were engaged. He said that he will never forget that first kiss. My new heros
