Context: The events of the past year have taught me much about myself, and a few universal truths. I learned, for instance, that while wounds can be inflicted easily upon those we love, it's often much more difficult to heal them.

But most of all, I learned that it's possible for two people to fall in love all over again, even when there's been a lifetime of disappointment between them.
