I was so waylaid by this post when I first read it that I didn’t notice the photo that accompanies it. Now it makes me laugh out loud–the real thing, not LOL.

Heather looks the same, but who’s the guy in the Kliban Cats shirt?

This post is a keeper. Your finer-than-usual words make me appreciate my world which, of course, includes you and Heather. And which, of course, means there will always be light…she wouldn’t have it any other way.

How very touching…what a pleasure to see a couple who still enjoy their salad days after 30 years. Very endearing – thanks for sharing.

This beautiful message is so inspiring, suddenly this song popped into my head, “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine….” Love lightens the world, thank you for turning up the lumens…let it shine let it shine let it shine..

Your big beautiful generous buffy life together keeps on giving. Let your friends be warriors with you. Me too.

Martin set the bar very high for other couples. This testimony of his love for Heather is clearly heartfelt and moved me to tears. I realized how wise he was to admit having “dark” periods in their married life which eventually led them to periods of “light.” Life is not like one of the old TV sitcoms, and June Cleaver was not a role model. Today we acknowledge that real people have real problems. If they are lucky, they receive love and reassurance from their spouses, and this love helps them to travel through the dark back into the light.

Your beautiful post has been on my mind since reading it last week. The thing is, love is action – which you and Heather have always modeled in so many ways. Even when I’ve just been with one or the other of you, the way you speak of each other is pure focused and intentional love. It’s a blessing to everyone around you, and lovely to see.

Well, Martin, you wrote a love letter to Heather that manages to cast enough warmth and light for all of us. And you are not merely besotted, still; she is all that, and so are you. Thank you for this very timely gift.

What a beautiful holiday gift to all of us, Martin – letting us share in the light and love that envelops you two as a couple, and always seems to leave behind a trail of fun, sparkly glitter everywhere you go, and around everyone whose lives you touch. My favorite line: “The greatest gift of all, however, is one that I have not yet fully unwrapped.” Aww. Love to all of you…. and as they say, “We’ll leave the light on for ya.” xoxoxo
