I have had the privilege to witness what a real love looks like. My neighbors who might as well be family. I have known them my whole life. They are an older couple, but you would never know because they are both so young at heart and express their love for each other constantly.
She would always say he is such a cool guy, and how amazing and creative he is. He could imagine anything and bring it to life.
He, more introverted, wouldn't always say it out loud but you can see by the way he looks at her, how much he adored her glow and the light she brought to his life.
They are both artists, imagineers, and in love. When he proposed to her, he made her the biggest Tiffany engagement ring and slid it up her leg and said " do you wanna?". She has showed me that ring and told me that story so many times, and I will never forget it.
Tonight, she passed away very suddenly. At home so peacefully. But a surprise non the less. It moved me and hurts so much that she left us. She was like a Grandmother to me. But what I will always remember her for would be her kookiness and the love they have.
It is so honest how much they admire each other and how strongly they love. It's a tale for the ages.
