How do you define Love? Is it passion? Lust? Comfort? Companionship? Contentment? Sometimes it is all that and more, right? After almost 30 years of marriage, here are some random things I have learned about Love….

Love is saying “be careful” not only when it’s nasty out…

Love is sharing a funny memory that makes you both laugh, a lot, but nobody else gets it…

Love is clearing the snow off of all of our cars when he leaves for work…

Love is locating and going out to purchase a rechargeable heating pad that I could take with me in the car on a trip I was leaving for in an hour..

Love is working tirelessly, day in and day out, so that your children can realize their dreams..

Love is sharing the pride and the joy and the excitement when those dreams are, in fact, realized…

Love is always taking the lead and doing the hard stuff when I just can’t deal…

Love is filling my car with gas because I really just hate doing it…

Love is getting that cinnamon raisin bagel for me without me asking because he knows I really like them..

Love is holding me up when grief overwhelms..

Love is trying to convince me I’m beautiful when I feel anything but…

Love is buying me something that I mentioned wanting, once, and then forgot about..

Love is letting me be ME and sticking around anyway…….

If you have Love like this, then you are pretty damn lucky – like me…

Happy Valentine’s Day..
