Lucky in love.

I was once said of my maternal Grandparents that my grandfather loved my grandmother so much that if she wanted a pet hippopotamus, my grandfather would have found a way to get her one. It’s a pretty silly analogy ofcourse but the sentiment behind it is pretty profound.

I was told that as a teenager and I remember thinking that I’d never know love like that. Boy was I wrong. I give thanks every day for him and for the family we've become. I've truly never know a love like this. And while my love would probably prefer something with a nice 'animal print'.... I'd move heaven and earth to get him a hippopotamus.
