Sixteen, eighteen, a wedding day, a hard year. Write it now, while you remember them at this age.
You will not remember what they were like at seven in fifteen years' time. You think you will. You will not.
Write who they are right now: the phrases, the obsessions, the way they walk into a room. Then say the thing you want them to know when they open it.
Seal it, label it with the milestone, and tell your partner where it is kept.
