~A not so wordless Wednesday~
My heart goes to this old couple whom I always see selling those rugs/doormats to earn a decent living. They always pass by my store asking me to buy but i can't buy everytime esp. if I can't use all of them. They walk in the middle of the scorching sun and sometimes they could barely walk bec. the old man is already limping as he is already around 80 yrs. old. and "lola" old lady is 75.
Sometimes we just gave them something for lunch and in this case we asked them to come inside our place to have a lil rest and bro bought a pair of rugs. We asked them once why at their age they are still selling and they answered us that they don't have other means to live. They also rather sell than to steal or beg. This made me realize that I am still so lucky and blessed.

ReplyDeletewhat a sad story and the photos really depict their sadness. Happy WW.

ReplyDeleteYour post about these old couple made me cry. I cannot dare to see people on the side walk trying to have a decent job and they're too old to sell those rugs. I am hoping that despite of their hardships here in the world they will get something good in return and they will bot go in heaven
ReplyDeleteA very sad story and too often repeated. God bless them both. Excellent post for WW. :)

My WW post
Ang lungkot naman. Kitang -kita mo sa mga mata nila ang pagod at lungkot. You know madali akong maawa sa mga matatanda lalo na sa mga mahihirap. :(
ReplyDeleteReg my WW, ako yung long hair dun. Bababa lang kami for a merienda break. :)
this is so sad...
ReplyDeletethe old people here are collecting rags and used cans.
no choice when they need to make a living when their children did not support them! :(
Their faces look so haunted. Bless their strength.
ReplyDeleteIt makes you appreciate your own life that you have right now when you read sad stories like this.
ReplyDeleteThat's a sad story,Jen..Kakalungkot..asan ba mga anak nila? Tsk tsk..:(
ReplyDeletePowerful WW!
ReplyDeleteYou captured their plight with your photographs.
God Bless them both.
Happy WW!
Sad na sad talaga iyon, no?
ReplyDeleteyou know bes though i feel pity for them humahanga ako sa kanila sa sipag nila, di natin alam baka sila pa ang inaasahan sa kanila, at least honorable pa rin sila kase di sila gumagawa ng masama just to survive the day! taga-taytay lang sila?
ReplyDeletethat is sad. What's going to happen as they age more and more??
ReplyDeletethanks for all your comments, this is really a sad thing, if only i have the power and the great means to help them.
