Where to begin?? I can only speak for me and so for me love is...
This man...my husband. As much as we can drive each other crazy, we "get" each other and that is a lot to ask in a marriage. He makes me laugh, he pisses me off, he makes me laugh some more, I count on him, I know he's got my back, he frustrates me, he makes me smile, he makes me happy, he is a fantastic partner in life and an even better partner in crime (and I don't mean the work kind-lol).He's the best dad ever-and I mean EVER! He's a great provider for his family, he's my best friend and I'm so glad I have him! Oh, did I mention he's incredibly handsome and buff?? ;o)
Love is...my family and my friends that I consider family. I am lucky to be surrounded by great people that I love. Some I was born with and others I have picked up along the way in this journey of life. I would do anything for my family. Sometimes I don't like them but I will always love them unconditionally. I have memories to last a life time of fun times, laughs and more laughs. We've seen new sights together, tried new things, done the same old things over and over, travelled, stayed home, made each other mad, made up, been through rough times and made it through. We have waited patiently, waited impatiently, been on adventures, helped each other out sometimes when we didn't even know it.
And of course, last but not least, love is...my little man, my buddy, my little pumpkin angel. As much as I hate to say it, "they" were right. You will never understand how much your parents love you until you have a child of your own. Before Collin, I had no idea that such a love existed in my heart, but it does and he showed me that. He continues to show me everyday! He constantly amazes me with his intelligence, talent, his sense of humor, his heart and what an amazing gift he is. He has helped me grow and change in ways that wouldn't be possible without him. I have become less selfish and self centered-who has time with a 3 year old wild man zooming around the house!! He has helped me lose my mind-which I would actually like to find again if possible!He has helped me realize what is truly important to me in life and to try to be a better person so I can be a good example for him.
The love of a mother and child is like no other love. It is felt in a deep space of your being. That love can light up your worst day and put a smile on your face with just a thought. It is completely selfless yet selfish at the same time. The knowing that a little helpless human being relies completely on you. You are responsible to shape and mold that little person until they can make it on their own. It is a need that never ends, no matter how much they want to be their own person. He will always know that he can count on Mama no matter what. You get to be number one to someone forever. What more could you ask for??
And that, my friends, is my version of LOVE!! Happy Valentines Day and click here to check out what our friends think of love~
