Truly. Madly. Deeply. The Three Words We’re Too Afraid to Mean
Loving madly is driving forty minutes just to bring them their favorite coffee. It is staying up until 2 AM arguing about whether a hot dog is a sandwich. It is the irrational surge of pride when they accomplish something small, and the disproportionate grief when they stub their toe.
