Modern Love - NY Times Series

Have you seen any of these columns? The New York Times has a collections of columns called Modern Love. Last Sunday, this column ran and I thought it was so touching and beautiful that I wanted to share it. Layng Martine Jr. describes his relationship with his wife before and after the car accident that left her a paraplegic. Perhaps I'm more of a romantic than I typically admit to but reading this made me think that for better or worse never rang more true.

Oh, man. I should not have read that between my nightly police calls. My voice was shaking with every dispatcher.

Thanks for pointing it out. I think everyone should read it.

Gulp, right? I've read several more columns in that collection and have really enjoyed them. There is one by a woman whose parents switched partners with another couple that was amazing (I have personal experience with this so it hit quite close to home).

I found the feature a couple of months ago and I cannot get enough of it!

The series really is quite compelling. I've found myself rationing essays so that they are savored rather than devouring them like I'm inclined to do.
