I am battling cancer. I was transferred to an out-of-state hospital for a liver resection. When I woke, I found my fiance beside me, 17 hours from home. I asked him why he had come, he said “The day we get married I want to be able to look you in the eye and have you know that when I say ‘in sickness and in health,’ I mean it.”

I was in class one day when my boyfriend, who had been deployed for two years, came walking into the classroom. I had no idea he was back in the States. I’ve never cried harder in my life then I did when I saw him walk in. As I was hugging him, he got down on one knee and proposed to me. We’re getting married in the fall.

When my dad suddenly died, my girlfriend came with me to my parents’ house for a week where she cooked every meal, babysat my three nieces, fed the dog, cleaned the house, and spent a lot of her own money on groceries. I later learned her boss didn’t want to let her have the week off, so she quit her job to hold my family together.

A long time ago, I was on the verge of committing suicide when a guy came to the roof to have lunch. He saw me climbing over the railing and asked me to share his lunch with him. After receiving my puzzled look, he explained, “Everyone should die happy. Or at least with a full stomach.” We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary last month.

Last summer I was working as an assistant wedding photographer in California during the brief period when gay couples could marry there. While working a wedding at the San Franscisco City Hall, I watched two old men in tuxedos help each other up the stairs in order to finally get married after over 30 years together.

My grandma is sick and can’t control her body. While mentally alert, she is often treated like a child. My grandpa and I were running to the grocery store when suddenly he turned around and drove all the way back home. When I asked him why he said “I forgot to Kiss your grandma goodbye”.
