Do you have really special memories of your loved one? Is there a day or an event that stands out in your mind and brings you joy?
Share a memory here- anything that brings you happiness.
Here's one of mine:
I remember the day I went to meet him, finally again after so long. We were together in our twenties, and then we broke up- stupid me!- and then all these years later we finally told one another that we still had feelings for one other- we talked on the phone a few times, and then he asked to see me. We arranged to meet at Barnes & Noble. He got there first and I texted him, telling him I was in the Bible section. He texted back that he was among the heathens, in the science section. :) About a minute later he was standing just a foot away, and had the sweetest smile on his face. I'll never forget it...after being in love with him all those years, and wanting to tell him but not having the courage, there he was, right in front of me. I walked over and he opened his arms and I remember thinking, FINALLY!! as he embraced me. It was heaven. :)
That was the first spark of our rekindled romance.

Ok my favorite one is us sitting on the beach at night under a blanket snuggle up a just talking.
And our first visit oddly enough :)
@angela that's so very sweet.
My favorite memory tho of the many many fond memories is when he would just walk up and for no reason , kiss me on the forehead , he would bend down and just give me a kiss , for no reason ... I miss that so terribly ...
We drove the 60 miles, me still not thinking it was actual labor (we had a false alarm the week before where the pains stopped as soon as we made it into town) and him driving as calmly as he could with me cursing every little bit.
When we got there they admitted me, and said that they'll take a look and if I wasn't at a three, they would let me go. I have a thing where I won't show pain when i'm with strangers so even while a contraction was happening I just closed my eyes and smiled to make it through. They got me in a room and checked. The nurse then got up and said lets get you to a birthing room, you're at a six. Within an hour I was at a 8 and in another hour I was pushing.
I'll admit that during my whole pregnancy I didn't really feel connected, but the moment she cried for the first time, my tears started flowing. And then when she was in Daddy's arms as he was handing her to me, there was so much emotion rushing through me. We were a family ( a week earlier than planned). And the love I felt then just trumps every other moment we've ever had together. I'm starting to tear up just remembering that day. It's was one of those days where you think that you could never be happier than you were right then.
