Sunday News Bit and Happy Father’s Day
Husband takes makeup lessons – This story has been out for a while but it’s so touching that I had to mention it once I finally saw it.
A husband’s simple gesture of love for his wife is inspiring people around the world.
Mona Manahan, 82, has trouble doing her own makeup because of her deteriorating eyesight — so her husband of 56 years, Des Manahan, took lessons so he could apply it for her.
After taking several lessons, Des has apparently become quite the expert. He uses a light hand though as Mona’s eyes are sensitive.
But hearing Des’s thoughts on love and aging gracefully, it’s easy to see why their story has stuck such a chord.
“We’re not trying to look like 30-year-olds or 40-year-olds or 50-year-olds,” he said. “We both love each other as we are at 83 and 82, which I think is enough.”
And Happy Father’s Day everyone!
Yes, it is very touching. That is love. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Yes, love is enough. Thank you.
Lovely, touching story. The love of two octogenarians is sometimes more romantic and meaningful than that of two twenty year olds.
Such a nice story to share today- thanks!
