Growing old

Click here---->  Growing old video

If you haven't seen this video then you need to stop what you're doing and watch it. It's the best.

It made me wonder who my husband will be one day and if he'll look at me and tell me I look beautiful at every age... or that I am miserable like a grumpy, bald hag. Let's hope it's never the latter.

Being in love is an incredible high and being able to stand next to the same person for decades and support them through ups and downs is even more incredible.
 I didn't say it would be easy and I am sure the journey is fun, exhausting, infuriating, and wonderful.
Kids, homes, jobs, holidays, and birthdays...you'll never spend them alone.
Someone will always be there to hand you a tissue, run and pick up the flu meds, and skip awful things you don't want to attend.
You will always have someone who gets the inside jokes and is frustrated by all the same people.
Someone who will lift you up when you've fallen(and can't get up...you know you thought it), and celebrate you when when you're on top of the world.
They'll know what to say to make you laugh and they'll know your favorite food, movie, and candies.
They make you a lot smarter and nicer and make you achieve goals you never thought possible.  That's just what love is - a chemistry of gains and losses. Biology of the make-up of the head and the heart. A science that makes total sense and no sense at all.
All I know is I can't wait to grow old and fight with my old person cane, race with my wheel chair, and hide my husband's toupee. It's all going to be a blast I know it.

This video made me visualize how wonderful getting old must be with someone you love. To hold someone's hand at 30 and still hold the same hand at 80.
It's a journey I can't wait to embark on one day. I feel like instead of a big, expensive and  big wedding, I would rather have a video like this. It would be so special to experience it with my future husband.

 Love is everything- a common experience shared by so millions around the world. How incredible is that?
