When preteen David Hewitt met Sissy at a mutual friend’s “boy-girl party,” he just had to scrawl “David + Sissy” in wet concrete near the their homes in Charleston, South Carolina. That 12-year-old’s infatuation turned to love over the course of their teens and the two were married less than a decade later.

During their years together, they would occasionally come back to the fateful sidewalk where he first proclaimed his love to her. And although sadly, David passed away after 38 years of marriage from cancer, what remains to this day is amazing.

We can all only hope to have such a great love in our lives. I know that I do. And when I find it, I’ll be sure to make a permanent marker just like this so the whole world will know it forever.
