Reddit, what's your dream guy/girl like?

Damn, Katelyn is perfect. She's everything I've ever wanted in a girl. We were together for 7 months and every second was heaven. I knew on our first date that I had to marry her. I started saving for a ring right then and there. We spent every moment we could hiking and enjoying the woods around my cabin in North Carolina. I will never forget the way her hair perfectly framed her face when the sun would shine through the trees. We would go camping and I had never been happier than when we would wake up and watch the sun rise from our little tent. Even on the drive to the doctor's office, she was positive and cheerful and singing along to the radio, and letting her hair dance to the cool autumn air in through the car windows. Though she didn't feel well, Katelyn refused to lose her ever-glowing smile. The only time I've ever seen her smile dim was when the doctor told her she had cancer. I immediately took the money I had been saving for a ring and put it into her medical bills since we didn't have much money. Over the next three months, Katelyn's glow faded, her hair fell out, and her body grew weaker, but her spirit stayed strong. I held her hand and stayed by her side. When she finally died, I felt like my soul went with her. I missed our camping trips, I missed her funny jokes and cute surprises, but most of all, I missed my friend and the other half of my heart that she had become. Whenever I think of Katelyn, I don't think of the machines that tried so hard to keep her heart beating and lungs breathing or the countless cancer treatments. I can't help but thinking back to those times when the sun would shine lightly through the trees, catching in her hair, and lighting up her face. That's how I choose to remember her. Not as someone who got sick, but as my best friend and the brightest part of my soul. That's what made her perfect.
