My name is Mara Louvau. I am 29 and live in Northern California. My husband is Michael and is also 29. We met back in high school fifteen years ago. We didn't date in high school, but we definately knew who each other was and had major crushes on each other (although neither of us knew it at the time). After graduation Mike and I didn't see each other very often, but someone, somewhere made sure we crossed paths at least twice a year. On May 21, 1994 we were both at the same place at the same time. We were both single and the timing was right. Needless to say, we've been together ever since. We got married in October of 1995. Michael is the best thing that has ever happened to me. He has opened my eyes to so many new and exciting things and I love him that much more for that. He is a wonderful, caring, loving man who would do anything for me. I love you Michael Louvau.

Our relationship has flourished to yet a higher level after the death of our baby Dylan. We are closer now than ever and we both know that life can be very cruel and take the things you love away from you at any time. Because we know that, we hold onto each other even tighter. I know my love for Michael will never end and I have no doubt in my mind that I will be with him forever!
