HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT LOVE THESE DAYS?

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT LOVE THESE DAYS?

I’ve been in love for almost 10 years. For the 32 before that, I honestly thought it was all a hoax.

But then I met my wife. My very best buddy. The only person who knows exactly the right moment to call me out on all my sh*t, who will then will turn around and defend me with fire despite my endless array of shortcomings. She is the woman that I will never stop trying to surprise or impress, despite the fact that she knows me better than anyone else in the world.

The day I met her, I began losing sleep. This amazing individual robbed me of my ability to put my head to pillow, and drift off into a stress-free slumber. Before her, I cared about nothing but myself. Then this brilliant blonde wrecking ball obliterates every manner of wall that I had spent over three decades building. And that's when the nightmares began.

Gee, quite the romantic, ain’t I?

The truth is, she gave me something to worry about. She gave me something that, when I crept into the darkest places in my mind, I realized that I could lose. That's how I knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I was in love with her.
