“True love is your soul’s recognition of its counterpoint in another”
Just before my husband and I got married, a friend sent us a card with this quote written on the front. At the time I saw it as just a nice quote without really understanding its meaning – and then I met my son. Then I realised what true love really is. I saw so much of Garry and I in Ruairidh, from Garry’s massive feet to my facial features. I never thought I could love anyone as much as I love my husband, but Ruairidh gave him a good run for his money.
