“Wove, twue wove is what bwings us togever today”
How far true love was from us on that day–our wedding day. How can true love show itself in the midst of a brief romance? It is the work we do now–stopping to listen instead of following the instinct to yell expletives; opening our hearts, though they are still reeling from last week’s argument; inviting, no matter how many times we have been dismissed; looking each other in the eye even after we’re spent. Love always hopes, always perseveres, always forgives . . .
And true love makes me go to Family Fun Center. The noise, noise, noise, noise! (Yes, I know, I sound like the Grinch) The lights, lights, lights, lights! The germs, germs, germs, germs! But the kids had fun, fun, fun, fun! And I did have a little too 🙂
Happy Valentine’s Day!
