Four years ago he sweated through one shirt and changed into another before heading to my place. Four years ago we walked our way through my (now our) neighborhood to three different venues: a glass of wine with his body turned away from me while I vomited up everything that might eventually scare him away, dinner half a mile away where au jus dripped down my arm like a savage and finally a nightcap at the Irish bar which needs no additional detail.
Four years ago it all started unraveling and unfolding, neither of us knowing how much our lives – and we – would change, how much we’d stay the same.
Thank you for four wonderful years, Mc – you’re up for sainthood this time next year.

Congratulations. I hope you keep cherishing every moment, looking through different lenses as often as you can and never lose sight of how amazing being in step together really is.
