This morning, I walked into a cozy little restaurant, drawn in by the smell of fresh coffee and the soft hum of conversation. The checkered tablecloths and the warm glow of the lights made it feel like a place where stories had been told for years. As I settled into my seat, a sight at the far corner of the room caught my attention\u2014an elderly man carefully pulling out a chair for his wife before helping her sit down.
