Okay, time to stop it. I know you, love will come.
You will find a wonderful man who treats you with the same respect you treat the entire world. He will laugh when you say things only you find funny, and he will shoot milk from his nose when you say and do things that everybody finds funny. He will understand your need to appreciate life, and he will accompany you in that quest.

I know this, because I see things. I examine the world with the same curious eye you maintain. And me senses tell me that happiness is what KQ makes of it.

You will settle down, buy a house in the burbs, get a dog (or cat) and have wonderful children together. They will be bright and funny; they will infect the world with the same cheeriness you exude on a daily basis. They will grow up to be captains of industry, or the skeptic journalists who bring them down. They will watch you and your husband grow older and happier together and they will continue the legacy you have begun.
