Things like their love of animals makes them special and wonderful, and any couple having such a successful relationship is, well, hopeful to anyone in a relationship! But their day-to-day lives aren't that much different from their neighbors, yet for their entire lives, and lives together, they've had to steel themselves for the ugliness that gets thrown too often at nice, hardworking couples like them just because they're both women. It makes me in awe of their courage, and sad that they've had to be so brave every day just to be who they are: a nice quiet hardworking couple.
