On our last trip to Jamaica we noticed an older couple, noticed them because she walked slowly and carefully - with a cane and he was always by her side with his hand on her elbow. They were always together and seemed totally devoted to each other.

One evening we noticed her wandering around near one of the restaurants and my husband and I approached to make sure she was OK as her husband was not in sight. She thanked us for checking on her, and her husband went to the rest room.

We got to know Charlie and Grace pretty well, and oddly enough they were from the same town my husband grew up in!!! Small world. Grace had a stroke the previous year and her speech and mobility were impaired but she appreciated our friendship and patience with her while she spoke.

The entire trip we would see the two of them, always together, always holding hands, completely devoted.

We are heading to England in June and we hope to see Charlie and Grace while were there for a cup of tea.
