I hope we'll have 71 beautiful years together too!

Anyway, for the rest of you, regarding this beautiful young man quoted here -

I have swooned over him since day one. I do sigh deeply, many times a day, but it's one of those sighs where you just have too much love in your heart, and it just feels heavy with the warmth of happiness. I love everything about him. I love the way his nose wiggles when he talks, the face he makes when he's going to sneeze, the way he laughs when he's nervous, the way he pouts like a bratty child when he doesn't get what he wants, the delicate care he puts into prepping his hair; I love how small my hand is in his, how he giggles and convulses when I tickle him ...

I love watching him around animals. The way his face lights up when a cat is around .... it's precious. It makes my heart melt. I deeply adore his immense kindness towards animals, the admiration he has for his heroes/influences. I love how passionate he is about the things he enjoys in this world; I admire his work ethic, his determination to succeed, his perseverance, his sharp wit. Though I've been in this world a little longer than he has, there is much I could learn from how he handles everyday life with hardly a scratch.

I look up to him; he is my hero. He is the love of my life. I love him when he's angry and acting like an ass; I love him when he's anxious and snippy. I love him when he's not very lovable at all, which has taught me that he is possibly the only person in this world that I've ever felt true unconditional love for.

Every day I'm grateful that such a wonderful person is in love with me.
