Okayyyy crying over here. So good. And so familiar. I tell my husband all the time, "Thank you for marrying *me.*" What a real gift to have men like them. I like you two so much.

I can see the joy radiating!! Happy anniversary beautiful couple! Also, giggling at the dinosaurs? 🤣 Is there a Dinosaur Husband Club I wasn't aware of? 😂

My husband would sometimes fleet away whilst touching his elbows to his ribcage and flapping his hands out. Pretending he has dinosuar short arms as he shuffles away.

I'm sure there's a backstory that makes this even more beautiful. But it is pure and breathtaking even with little insight. What a wonderful thing to experience.

So precious, Rachel. I don't know you either but that was one beautiful read and tribute to the love and life you share 🤍 I hear Louie Armstrong singing, "and I think to myself... What a wonderful world."

It has helped assure me that God can heal the brokenhearted and that God remembers us and our dreams.
