Here’s a charming tale of love to brighten up your hump day. So last March, one netizen’s Facebook post about his parents’ loving relationship went viral. He told the story of how his father labors more than 12 hours a day under the sun to build a good life for his mother, and to show him love, she regularly commutes all the way from Sengkang to Kranji just to share a meal with her husband over lunch break and ensure he won’t go hungry.
“A definition of a strong woman is not only independent [sic], but a strong woman is a person who will stand by the partner side [sic] no matter what the situation is,” the son wrote.
All across the online sphere, hearts were touched by this simple act of love.
But as Internet-famous things go, the incident eventually faded into the background after the next viral trend emerged.
That is, until about two weeks ago, when netizens re-surfaced the post and circulated it again. Since people were so inspired by their affectionate devotion to one another, Our Grandfather Story tracked down the pair and got them to share their love story as well as spill their secrets to a long lasting and fulfilling marriage.
Check it out below – it’s the sweetest thing you’ll see all day.
#couplegoals indeed.
