All you need is love, love, love is all you need!—the Beatles.
Finding love is just the first step. You can fall in love with someone but it takes commitment. Its commitment that Harold and Connie Kuiper say keeps their 75 year marriage alive. They didn’t realize their love was rare. Oh, but what a lovely example they are!
And what about love of life? BobbyMcMullen shares a similar commitment, but his is a love of extreme adventure sports. Bobby, who became blind at 29, dedicates his abilities to his family and friends and says that if it wasn’t for the love and trust of his friends he wouldn’t be able to conquer the “sketchie” stuff they do on bikes. Love for your passion can truly pull on your hearts strings. Candace LiVolsi has a passion for the harp and plays like an angel. She can play a soothing lullaby to make a child drift to sleep or announce the entrance of a beaming bride, making her feel as though she is floating instead of walking down the aisle.
