What I know to be true:

What I know to be true:
Life is an adventure that you can't do alone.
Adventures aren't always awesome.  Sometimes they are really hard.
Loving someone isn't always about you, it isn't always about them, sometimes it's beyond you both.
Fall down seven times, get up eight.
There is room for great in your life if you want it.
Love will expand to the limits you give it.
There is more than enough for everyone to have more than enough.
Smile.  It is the most attractive thing you can put on.
People want to love someone who gives love.
Even grief is damn funny.
It's the quiet ones you have to look out for, but in a good way.
Warm laughter is one of the best things to hear.

Things I want to be true about me - or said about me:
She eats life.
You can't be around her without feeling like you are loved.
She gives you the time and space to be yourself, and she seems to like you.
She gives the BEST hugs.
She encourages me to be my best.
When I am with her I feel like anything is possible.

Things I learned from David:
Whatever you do, put your whole heart into it.
The most painful thing in the world is to love someone you can't trust.
It's ok to let people who don't add to you go - with love.  You make room for other people.
How to give the best hug in the world.
Put financial things into a perspective you can own.
Learn all of the rules so you know how to break some of the rules.

Things I learned from grief:
I have a lot of resources to pull from.
I am not finished with life.
Love is dynamic, expansive, fulfilling and not easily controlled - but gracious.
There is room enough.
Salt water is healing, weather it's the sea or it's tears.
People want to embrace you, if you let them.
