It’s a wonderful, difficult, amazing, confusing thing – something we don’t always understand. But whether we understand it or not, it’s a part of life every single day. We wanted to write a story about love. But we realized that we couldn’t show every aspect in one story. To show the story – the full story – of love, we need every story. The joy of growing with a partner. The reseilience of being independent in the face of love. The heartbreak, the grief that comes from love. Our attempt isn’t perfect – but neither is love. We hope that if nothing else, these stories can show what we do.
