He was 22 and I was 23.
Couldn't ask for a better human to share this chaotic and beautiful world with.

I remember a quote: “A woman marries a man thinking he’ll change. A man marries a woman thinking she’ll never change. They’re both wrong.”
Until I was 41. Wife was 34.
I figured I would never get married until I met my wife. We just celebrated our 20th anniversary. Best decision I ever made. While everyone around us are getting divorced or in a tortureous marriage. We love spending time together. She is my best friend by far.
