And Finally, got to spend each moment with an amazing man who absolutely and unconditionally loves me.
Place me like a seal over your heart,

for love is as strong as death,
its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.
Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot wash it away.
If one were to give
all the wealth of his house for love,
it would be utterly scorned.
- Song of Songs 8:6-7
