You cannot edit your life, and even if I was today offered the chance to never meet her, and so not leave the city I loved, I would decline, for life is a verb, life swerves and lurches no matter how cautious and careful your driving, and I would not be who I am, surrounded by those I love most in this world, had I not left Chicago when I did. Brian Doyle
About This Quote

The story of how I met my wife is a love story. To me, it’s not a love story because we fell in love; we were already in love. It’s a love story because we’re still in love, and happy as ever. We met on a blind date that turned into an unforgettable night.

We both admitted that we found each other attractive on the first meeting, and admitted that we had no idea what was going to happen next. She said “I don’t know if I can handle you being with another woman, so I shouldn’t even be here.” But she was there, and so am I – and so are – most – of – us – all – over – the world – our – lifes – our – loves.
