When you love someone so deeply that it deserves it's own word.
Not only was your loved one present for a formative experience; they helped create it. Partly by being a silly human doing silly things and partly because they gave you permission to be silly and playful and ...yourself. authentically. Possibly for
the first time. Resulting in you even starting to *gasp* like yourself.
The kind of moment that sticks with you, because
everything you were before it was just the prologue. but then -quick as a flash, you
recognized...Yourself. (The You that you are today) And while you can't give them all the credit, they were a essential ingredient in whatever magic alchemy that woke you up.
