Love can be so deep, so fulfilling, and absolutely contagious.\u00a0 This couple’s love for each other is tickling the hearts of millions.<\/p>\n

Who is this loving couple?\u00a0 Meet John Allen, 82, and his girlfriend and love of his life, Linda Alexander.\u00a0 Five years ago, Linda, then 65, suffered a stroke that inflicted brain damage.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor a while, I couldn\u2019t even talk \u2013 except to say, \u2018I love you,\u2019” Linda said.<\/p>\n

John never gave up on Linda.\u00a0 Six days a week he takes her to Starbucks where he uses flashcards to help her read again.\u00a0 He also takes her to the gym three days a week to help her regain functionality in the right side of her body, which was partially paralyzed.<\/p>\n

Matthew Ballesteroa and his friends saw John teaching Linda how to read in Starbucks.\u00a0 Matthew couldn’t resist taking a picture of the loving couple.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe could feel the love emanating off of them,\u201d Matthew states.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\u201cMy friends and I were overwhelmed by the love that these two had for each other, and I knew I wanted to let them know how much of an inspiration and a perfect example of true love they were to me”, Matthew said.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

He posted the picture<\/a> on Reddit with a caption of \u201cPatience, love and understanding at its finest\u201d.\u00a0 The picture went viral with over 2,000,000 views!\u00a0 He also posted it on his facebook<\/a> page with the story.<\/p>\n

What a heartwarming story!\u00a0 It’s always great to see true genuine love.<\/p>\n

Peace & Love,
Jon
