Love’s true measure is often revealed through the passing of time. Sometimes our love even outlives the people or thing we loved. From well-loved people and pets to transformed homes and clothes. The people below shared the beautiful impact that time and love can make.

4. “In 1980, a coworker set me up with his daughter. We went on a blind date, married 2 years later, and will soon have our 43rd anniversary.”
