Aw, Bill, I had such high hopes for you. Things haven't gone the way you had hoped?

Love is . . . :
Your Momma waking you up in the morning and having a cup of hot chocolate for you.
Your Daddy not taking your keys away when you had that little fender bender
Your daughter giving you that whacky looking cup she made at day care
Your wife not yelling at you when you bought that "useless" piece of dive gear
You telling your wife that her new hair cut is really nice looking
Rubbing your wife's smelly feet and not saying anything about it because she'd had a really bad day
Your wife scratching your back without your asking
Your dad saying, "I'm proud of you, boy . . ."
Your favorite cousin coming up to you at your mother's funeral and just looking at you without saying a word with a tear in his eye.
That feeling you get when you watch your teenage daughter pull out of the driveway in her own car for the first time.
When you buy that little thing for someone special for no reason at all.
That look between two people that says nothing, yet says it all . . .

Yes Robin....that is definitely a must read....
Love....WOW...How hard is it to describe something that is ever changing, ever growing? Something that can hurt like nothing before, yet can let you soar to heights unknown?
I am sure everyone goes thru some kind of love in their lives. Different feelings of love for the different situations of life.
Love for your child - If I close my eyes I can still feel their small fingers wrapped around mine, hear them calling my name in their baby voices....their breath against my skin as they sleep in my arms...the look on their faces as they sleep - Going off to the first day of school......the memory brings tears (of course if they read this they would say mom is off her rocker). Yet this love also changes as they grow, as they become less dependent....
Love for your partner...Now I thought I was in love before (don't we all)...but looking at it now, it wasn't. It was opportunity. What did I know what I wanted at 17? 20? Did I know who I was?...life at that age is in the fast lane, not really getting anywhere so you reach for what passes by. Today I found love, because experience has showed me what love isn't.
In order to love, you have to love yourself - as you partner will be the extension of yourself - matching puzzle piece, your complimentary. Love of a partner is when two become one. A feeling, an emotion so solid and strong that even the wears and tears of life will not break them apart. You share the pains and the joys - feeling that of and for each other...With a thought of the other, the emotions sweep you away - even after routine has set in. It can get to the point that you will feel the others pain so you can take it away for them (My partner hit his nose the other day and mine hurt!! I couldn't for the life of me figure out why, until he told me of what happened to him....OK now you also know that I'm off my rocker)- unconditional sacrifice, patience and acceptance are all parts of love.

Asking someone what is love is like asking them 'what is the color blue?' All any one can do is give you comparisons. Blue is the sky. Blue is the ocean etc.
But what I call the color blue might be an all together different color than what you see is blue. Same thing with "Love."

Hmmm... actually blue is not the ocean (water is clear). Blue is what some posters here feel.

If I could choose what it is, it would be like a lifetime ticket on th orient express and the Queen Mary 2 rolled into one.
Unfortunately, love is more like riding a half broken stallion. Its exciting, its scary, its a lot of work, and when you finally get off, you are really sore, you are not sure if you want to get back on and you feel shorter than normal..

That was a rough one for me to read, I was so upset I couldn't even speak to my husband on the phone for almost an hour.RobinG:

Love had played its games on me so long
I started to believe I'd never find anyone
Doubt had tried to convince me to give in, said, "You can't win"
But one day the sun came shinin· through
The rain had stopped and the skies were blue
And oh, what a revelation to see
Someone was saying "I love you" to me
A one in a million chance of a lifetime
And life showed compassion
And sent to me a stroke of love called "You"
A one in a million you
I was a lonely man with empty arms to fill
Then I found a piece of happiness to call my own
And life is worth livin·again
For to love you to me is to live
A one in a million chance of a lifetime
And life showed compassion
And sent to me a stroke of love called "You"
A one in a million you
