Subway Story

photo from here
So the other day I got on the subway and there was an ancient looking couple sitting together. He was dozing, she was reading a book. I started thinking up their life story . . .

Meet Mr. and Mrs. Horowitz. They moved to New York City in 1967 from Russia. They have lived in the same 3rd floor walk up since 1986. They have 3 girls and 2 boys. Two girls live in NYC still and have 5 children between them. There is family dinner at Bube and Zeidy's house once a month on Saturday night after Temple. He was a college professor and she volunteered at the library. They both love reading and traveling. They've been together for so long, they can have a whole conversation with each other just with their eyes. They love each other more than they ever did on their wedding day. 

Well at least that's what I think.
