I think it is all a matter of perspective. I know I thought I had lost my one true love. For ten years I mourned that relationships ending, and foolishly tended the flame I carried for him. I bounced through a number of relationships that were doomed because of the way I was still feeling about my lost love.

UNTIL.....I met my husband. THEN I learned what "true love" really is. It IS hard work. It is holding your hands (and head) while you are heaving your guts up with morning sickness. It is worrying about your recovery after your 5th CSection It is going grocery shopping (and having to put the junk food back cause he is as bad as the kids! with filling the cart), it is paying the bills together, it is shoveling the sidewalk when there is 12 inches of snow, it is cleaning the bathtub cause you hate to, it is trying to make all the hanger clothes share the closet, it is driving him to work when he is on pain med for a bad tooth , it is cheering as your son cross the goal line (finally), listening to terrible bass playing cause your husband has unfulfilled dreams about having a rock band so he bought everyone an electric guitar for Christmas....it is daily life, the good, the bad, the up, the down...

You get my idea. I lost 10 years to the mist of a dream, but I found a lifetime with reality once I opened my eyes and heart

Can't you tell I sure love my husband

that is so beautifull, thank you for sharing... that is what I want with my boyfriend.
