Everything I ever wanted to Know About Love...


I learned from my parents...

Love is buying feminine napkins in France, on a snowy day, even though you don't speak French

Love is sitting through action movies even though you hate loud noises, blood and guts

Love is laughing and nodding at social events even though you really want to leave

Love is driving through gridlock on hot summer days, even though you have a migraine

Love is cooking a meal for your family, even though you've been working hard all day

Love is saying no I wont do it, even though you know you will

Love is walking with each other so neither has to walk alone

Love is trading the Is for an Us

Love is turning maybes into musts

Love is not dreamy or perfect

Love is not a fairy tale

Yet in love you do find "happily ever after"

It is the moment when you look back and analyze the trials and tribulations that carried you to true happiness and blessings

It is the ode of making it through the battles of life challenges

It is the faith that lead you to each other during moments of hopelessness

It is the light that guided you out of the darkest corners of yourselves

It is the inner peace that now consumes you

It is all these things and countless others

It is Love.
