3 years ago, my boyfriend and I entered universities on opposite sides of the US.

Since then, I've kept telling him that he'd be happier with someone closer.

Yesterday, after not seeing him since before our first year, he showed up at my dorm.

To propose.

Love that survived 2000 miles GMH.

Yesterday, I told my best friend that I was gay.

She Is a Neo-Orthodox Jew and believes homosexuality is an abomination.

Instead of disowning me, she just smiled and said 'Yay! Now we can boy-compare!'

A best friend's love, no matter what, GMH.

The other day I saw a young teenage couple riding a bike.

The boy was peddling, and the girl was riding on the back of it. They were laughing and smiling, until the boy stopped the bike, looked up at the girl, and kissed her.

It was the sweetest thing I'd ever witnessed. Young Love GMH.

2 yrs ago, at my daughter's wedding, her alcoholic, violent x-boyfriend stormed in with a knife.

Before anyone could stop him, he slashed at her. Her fiancee took the slash. After being rushed to hospital, he went into a coma.

She stayed with him night and day. Eventually he woke up.

Yesterday, they welcomed Ciara and Josh into the world. Their LGMH

Today I returned from a month-long army exercise in CA where I received scars on my hands from an explosion.

I was stroking my fiancee's cheeks when I stopped, realizing how coarse and rough my hands were.

She kissed each scar individually and said "I don't mind the scars. It's still your touch."

Elizabeth, your LGMH
