Such a petty dream.
One morning, freshman year, I saw an old couple walking through campus. Holding hands, they stopped in front of Dwinelle and just stood there for a moment. I was moved to take this picture, and it comes up every now and then on the slideshow I constantly have playing on my sidebar.
I've seen other old couples and families come onto campus...but I always remember these two. It feels so silly to have such a petty dream, but when I saw them was the first time I really knew something I wanted to have one day.
If in 50 years, I'm still here in Berkeley, walking around campus with someone...that's good enough for me.

That's really cute. It reminds me of this old couple that attends my church in SD. They looked like they were in their 80's but they still walked around holding hands.
