What a beautiful testament to your marriage! As a Quebecer, and former resident of NDG that borders Westmount, this piece also brought back many memories.
Of all the consequential decisions in my life, staying married is the only one entirely dependent on maintaining a high-wire balancing act with another person. That’s a great line and true of long relationships. A beautiful story of love and acceptance.
I fell in love with this sentence: "The butterflies in my stomach have flown away. What has replaced them is deep trust, unwavering commitment and loyalty, a desire to support, and a quiet, constant love." How true and how love is so rounded and full. Thank you for this beautifully written piece.
Stories about great loves that last are so healing to all who read them. In these splintered times, it's a gift to read about people who have remained whole and have so much to offer one another and their circle of family and friends. Thank you.
Loved your story, because it reminds me of ours, in that my husband doesn’t notice things either. You’ve written a lovely piece that totally resonates with me. Thank you.
Alice, there is SO much life here on the page, so much truth and honesty. Your writing gives me a bird’s eye view into this life and love story - and I am grateful for it.
What a lovely essay.
A match made in heaven. What's meant to be always works, no matter the obstacles.
What a wonderful love story.
Beautiful
