with the idea of being in love?

They choose the colors for the nursery.
They design all the aspects of their married life.
A real person stands no chance of measuring up to those fantasies.

whether by blood, by marriage, or by choice -

Have the courage to trust that
the beautiful butterflies of your life
will return - or not - as life intends.
