True love is an interesting concept.  It’s something that sneaks up on you sometimes… something that has you watching the fluffy cheese-fest that is Valentines Day and finding yourself nodding in agreement with the silly (yet oddly sage) observation that love is brutal.  Love is devastating and ruinous and toxic… but in a good way?

True love is lying awake at night, watching your amazing husband sleep, and suddenly realizing that if you get any say in these things, you hope that when you’re both old, it’s him that goes first, because the only thing you can imagine that would be worse than living without him is leaving him behind to suffer and grieve.
