True love that lasts for a lifetime...

Something magical happened today and in the most peculiar place at that - the hospital. I knew he was in bad shape, but the fact that he couldn't remember me or my father is not what stung the most. It was seeing him, all bundled up in his bed, not even knowing who or where he is, that really made me start to think. Yet when his wife reached out her weak hand to pet his head, their eyes locked and in that moment I saw that even though he lost most of his memories, he remembered her and the love they share. They spent more than fifty years together, and I guess a lot of their journey was rocky and hard, but when I saw them, both already knocking on heavens door, but still so deeply in love, all I wanted was to ask them how they managed to pull it off. How can two people be so profoundly in love for such a long time? It was at that moment that I decided, I'm not going to rest until I find something similar...

Is it already here? Have I already met her? Has she already met me? I am alone, but I am not lonely, because I know that I'm going to find it someday and so will all of you. I have to believe it exists, or else everything suddenly looses its sense of purpose. It doesn't matter where you are, because I'm coming to get you. So be prepared, to be swept away...
