We met young. We grew up in the same kitchen. We've been three different couples already inside this one marriage - and I suspect we'll be a few more before we're done.
"You don't fall in love once. You fall in love again with the person they're becoming."
Long love is not the absence of work. It's the willingness to keep choosing - on the hard Tuesdays, in the quiet seasons, after the kids leave.
The thing I know now that I didn't know at 30: you don't fall in love once. You fall in love again, and again, with the person they're becoming. That's the whole practice.
Letters from Alison
If this met you where you are, the letters will too.
One quiet Sunday email. An essay, an outfit, and one small thing to take into the week.
