Today, I learned that the best, most raw form of love is to love unconditionally.

To accept someone as whole takes a lot to begin with. To embrace someone’s flaws takes more. Tonight, I thought I’d hit the lowest of lows with the person I love the most. When I looked up from the bottom of the well, all I could see was darkness, and all I could do was cry. But then, I looked into his eyes and saw that all he wanted to do was fix it, not leave it behind to rot in the past. I saw how much he cared for us and I felt the authenticity of his apologies. I then realized that the thought of leaving him had never even really crossed my mind, because I had already assumed we would make it through.

From the bottom we climbed up holding hands. And I love him more than ever.
