As You Wish

I think young love is a beautiful, special thing.  When you are so newly in love that you still get giddy when your phone rings and you see that it is your special someone calling you.  Or when you first get married and your heart skips a beat when you hear your husbands keys rattling the front door, signaling that he is home for the evening.  When making dinner is still a fun adventure for the two of you to undertake together.  When you still learn new things about each other with every passing conversation. 

But there is a totally different kind of love too.  And that is old love.  Old love is special in a completely different way.  And I think it is even sweeter than young love.  I think it is deeper and more overpowering, even if it displays itself more softly.  We learn to love with time.  The kind of love displayed in this video clip is a kind of love that I, a young person, have not learned to love with yet. 

Close your eyes as you listen to this interview between Danny and his wife Annie, so that you are not distracted by the silly video.  Because the subject matter, and their lives stories are not silly at all.  What you will hear is something truly personal, profound, and tear jerking.
