Julianne Larsen (JL) and Mar Nauta (MN)
TRT – 2:28
JL: I noticed how you carried yourself, your beautiful, gorgeous eyes. And I just really wanted you to be my friend.
MN: We were friends for a couple years. Then there was that kiss. I don’t remember anything except just completely melting into you.
JL: I knew at that moment that I was hooked. [Laughs]
MN: Oh, me too. I was a goner. And this July, we’ll have been together for 13 years.
JL: Lucky 13, right?
MN: Lucky 13. Yeah.
JL: Yeah. But, you know, I have hallucinations. And when I met you I was really worried about sharing that with you.
MN: I did not think any big thing of it at all. [Laughs] It was just another piece of information about you, like your favorite color, or your favorite restaurant or something.
I knew you, and you were just sweet as the day is long.
JL: Well, I can’t tell you how invaluable it is to have another brain in, on my own brain because it’s a bad neighborhood, right? [Laughs] When you go in there alone. And you’re always willing to come along.
If I have a question like, ‘Hey, did you hear that?’ You’ll say, ‘Nope. No, I did not.’ [Laughs]
JL: And then, in 2014 I went and got cancer on you.
MN: I told you I was really worried. And you thought I was worried that you were going to lose your hair [laughs] because you had this beautiful long hair at the time — not that it’s not cute now. I said, ‘I don’t care if you go bald. I’m worried you’re going to die.’ [Laughs]
JL: You were so compassionate and you took care of me.
MN: Well, I get ups and downs, and the ups are really up and the downs are really down. But when things flare up you support me by telling me you love me and making me laugh.
JL: And when I’m feeling high or low, you help straighten me out, so…
MN: Yeah. That’s what we do.
JL: Yeah.
MN: Because we love each other.
JL: Right. And I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.
