20+ yrs together. What they need to show is your partner sleeping in the hospital room, doing the dishes bc you’ve had a long day, picking up takeout from your favorite restaurant “just because”, helping you prep for interviews after a layoff and reminding you why you’re qualified and capable.

Romance is great but to me, real love, is moments like that. When someone does things selflessly, simply bc they care and want you to be healthier and happier and want you to know they’ve got your back.

I found the needle in the hay stack and found that. I’ve drawn some other short straws in my life but I’d draw them all again if it meant I get to spend my life with her. She’s my greatest gift and my best friend.
