In the beginning, we accepted each other as real people whom we were coming to know for the first time. Now it’s different. We accept each other as changing people, moving targets for care and support. The personal needs are greater, and the challenges posed by life are more pressing. That makes our love stronger, for now we have a well-defined role. We want to help each other with those hurts. We care, and the deeper we come to know each other, the more deeply we will care.
