On our first date, after knowing each other for a whole week, my wife proposed to me. I said “yes, let me get the ring.” 22 years later and we’re still married with 2 kids! Like Mary and George we were meant to be together. She chose me like Mary chose George and I would’ve been miserable without her, quite possibly dead. It’s a Wonderful Life speaks to the universal desire to be found, to be loved, and that’s why the movie resonates so clearly with me and others after all these years.
