100 Words on Love, by Pete Beisner
–
Love is the certain knowledge that she will not only protect my heart, but also my dignity. It is knowing that when my hairy naked butt ends up in a hospital gown, she won’t even consider taking a picture of it and posting it on Facebook. She won’t laugh with a nurse behind my back and she will not take that moment to tell me where it is starting to sag. It is knowing that she will literally cover my ass. Love is guarding each other’s dignity as you grow old together.

I also would like someone to cover my ass, unconditionally and unreservedly, as I do for my children and my mother, but sometimes we don’t get what we want.
