What a sweet, beautiful and wise message, Colette. Thank you so much. It fills my heart with love for you and your husband.

25 years! That is awe-inspiring to me.

I love so much of what you wrote, I could have highlighted the entire thing.

Yes, we are newlyweds. We’ve been together almost 3–1/2 years and have lived together for 2–1/2. I had bought my cottage right before we met so it has felt like “ours” from almost the beginning.

And he is the first man I have ever been with, that I wouldn’t change a thing about. Not seeing him through rose-colored glasses, but just loving him unconditionally. Such a revelation to learn about true love, especially at this stage in my life.
