I’m thinking about after a certain point together people start to get asked: when did you know you loved them? I don’t think there is an answer to that, Because to love some one is to continuously find a new reasons. I’ve known it many different ways, But today I was reminded of it seeing you in your hospital gown with sad little eyes. I’ve never wanted to take in anything aside from my family’s own moments of joy as much as I wanted to with the pain in your face. There is nothing closer to the gut of two shared humans than pain that we can not give or take away.
