the true nature of love

I was looking for a 50 word story I can post here when I saw this really old entry:

The sweetest thing neal ever told me was said last Monday, one of the worst days of the year, while we were "arguing" for my sake.(his words not mine)

He told me I was silly.

""Is this a joke?" That's what they said when you were born. "Is this a joke?" "

I just stared at him.

"Hello? April 1? What kind of birthday is that?"

He went up to me while I was ironing clothes (yup in the afternoon which is one of the reasons it was a bad day...) and hugged me.

Then he said: "The only reason you were born was because when I was two, I wished that someone will love me."

Now isn't that sweet? In a sick, selfish, I'm-the-only-one-that-matters way that only neal can carry well.
Seriously.
It was good.
