Love
Protect
Respect
Adore
Many years of being
together and he still thinks of his wife in those terms.
It got me to thinking about
love and how we depict what that word means “love” we each have a different
perspective.
My grandparents were
married sixty-two years when my grandma
passed away. My happiest memory of them was watching their hands clasped together as they walked down the street at the
ages of seventy plus. I always said if I
could find a man like my granddad I’d be happy but they don’t make men like him
anymore, he was a once in a lifetime
mold…
He adored my grandma; you could see it in his eyes every
time he looked at her, touched her, the way his eyes twinkled when she did
something silly and the way his face lit up when she came into the room. They
passed away many years ago, but that kind
of love is still fresh in my mind when I think of them.
My job is spent trying to
bring that love alive on paper, I hope that I do, as an author I feel it is my
responsibility to give woman everywhere a happy ever after…we’re all not as
lucky as my grandparents were to have a love that lasted a lifetime.
The old year is about to be
gone and a new one upon us. Twelve months seems such a long time, but it’s like the blink of an eye. So
much happens, no one can escape we’re all susceptible to the sad things that
happen.
When you feel like the
world is about to fall on you…give it the finger! Try and remember all the right that is about you and there is always
someone out there worse off than you. Those words have got me through some
tough times this year.
I prefer to notice the way
my children make me smile, the way my mom
makes me laugh when she does silly things. I think about my friends and how
they pull me through with their kindness.
When you think that you
just can’t possibly carry on anymore but
find the strength to take that extra step. Yep, 2013 has been a bitch, but it
has taught me to stand up for myself, has brought my family close, and those
that have had to deal with illness made them stronger and more thankful for
what they have.
Humans are amazing; we’re resilient, we know how to
survive because we have to…my friends know who they are, they are not the norm
they are the exception!
No matter what life brought to you make it the best.
Richness in life.
Prolonged health.
A blessing of wealth.
