How many seconds have you been loved?

Driving out to my partner's family home, we passed a banquet hall hosting a  birthday party. The fete was for a woman who was turning 90. Ninety years of exploring the world and connecting with other people - wow! But the thing that registered in my brain wasn't how old this woman was turning but the fact that the sign said,

Happy Birthday [Name]!90 Years Loved

And I thought that this was such a fantastic way to refer to the passage of time, isn't it? We're not just getting older, we're being loved a bit more every minute, every second. 

That's 2,846,010,861 seconds of love.

Now multiply that by the number of people who know and have loved you in any way. Woah.

It just touched me and I had to share this little moment of happiness.
