I’m visiting my grandma this morning. 

Every day, for several hours, her 90-year-old boyfriend, Paul Herber, comes to see her. Despite his age, he still drives and maintains a small farm. Each morning, he brings her fresh milk from his only cow, and then they sit together and read.

My grandma just turned 96 and has poor vision, but doctors have refused to operate due to her advanced age. So, Paul reads to her every day—his favorite romance booklets. Having never married, he has a deep love for stories about love.

It’s heartwarming to sit here and witness this quiet, intimate ritual—the tenderness between two elderly people, sharing time in such a simple yet profound way.
