Description

Taken in Tobermory, Ontario where the beautiful crystal clear waters of Georgian Bay and a bench welcome the conversation between two old school friends. I spoke with this elderly couple. They were both in their late 80's. Just to reach this bench was no small feat for these folks that both used canes and a walker. He has been a long time resident of Canada. She had arrived from Germany a few days before. They had not seen each other in over 60 years!! Both had married, raised families and both were now widowed. She told me they had not stopped talking since her arrival. They talked about their youth, when they had met in their 20's but gone their separate ways. They talked of their families, their Germanic roots, their entire lives. I'm not sure how they reconnected but now in their 80's there was a definite twinkle in their eyes as they spoke. After all those years, they were living each day as if it were their last. In friendship, companionship and I also think......love. How beautiful. Thank you for viewing. Barbara McMahon
