When you think of 5-year-olds celebrating Valentine’s Day, you probably imagine kids exchanging cards and candy in class. But for this adorable little boy, that wasn’t enough.
“When the foundation cracks and your love still stands, you will see together, you’re made of stone.”
“I didn’t receive the ‘I messed up again’ flowers. I didn’t get ‘I am sorry for what I said earlier’ flowers. Today, no mistake was made. No issue happened that needed to be smoothed over. Because everyone’s love story doesn’t begin with ‘I love you’ flowers.”
“‘She’s more beautiful than ever. Doesn’t she look so pretty?’ he’d say. After multiple strokes and as her body few frail and weak, he continued to tell her how beautiful she was EVERY single day. They would have been married 60 years next month, and yet, 60 years still wouldn’t have been enough.”
“Before you start scrolling social media. And watching stories. And liking posts of girls showing off that make you start thinking to yourself, ‘Ugh she’s so lucky.’ I want you to look at yourself, and just for a second, remember all the ways your partner shows you love that is not limited to material representation.”
“Hey Babe, I don’t want a February 14th fuss. So, let’s not make a thing. I really love being you and me.”
“It looks like stroking his hand and tickling the little scar on his middle finger, because he loves that, and my touch calms him more than any pain killer could.”
“I remember lace, but now it’s plaid pajamas. I remember staying out late, but now we tuck in early. You’re Chinese ordered in. You’re grocery bills. And kid drop-offs. Our entire relationship just one giant trip to Costco.”
“I knew very young I wanted to have a baby. Since the world taught me this is what moms do, I must be a girl. I would soon discover this is not true.”
“There was no growing into it–just like a band-aid, I ripped off all fear and nerves, and dove right in.”
