Love through time
First of all I want to say thank you to everyone who took the time to leave such wonderfully encouraging comments. I am here writing as I received so much emails of encouragement I am in awe, for all the people who took the time to email me to show me their support, thank you. I am humbled beyond belief. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart and I dont really know what to say. I'm lost for words, THANK YOU.
I spent today with a lady who I look upon like a mother, and she is going through a lot of pain and has had to get a few injections on her back, and without hesitation I will assume that thing hurts. I had and epidural before and it hurt so bad. Honestly though it wasn't that part of the day that consumed me. It was the fact that her husband was there, and after 50 years of marriage they were still flirting with each other. I write it here and I can feel my eyes water, for they restored my faith in love. It was as if god gave me the sign I was asking for. I watched as they held hands on the back seat, and the way they looked at each other even after all these years.
They are so inlove, they are so enamoured with each other, it was so enchanting to see love bloom and grow to sheer everlasting. I smiled as he held his arm out as she walked beside him, and remembered a moment. The way she would smile as she wrapped her arm around his arm. The way he would always let her walked in through the door before him. The way she would smile as she looks at him as he sat beside her. The way he would open the door of the car to let her out. The way they kiss each other with such gentleness and passion. The way she would talk about him when he was not there, still makes me smile for she loves him so much even after all these years. For a moment I felt a sense of Dejavu

Two souls who've loved each other all their lives. I rejoice for I fear that this kind of love is so rare nowadays, that we must pause to recognize those who never forgot what love truly means. I look at them and I believe once again that real love exist. To love someone for 3 months, 6 months, 3 years, and even for 11 years is nowhere near 50 years, yet I feel that even if you love someone for 6 months alone, you will share so many trying moments and obstacles. 50 years! of life's achievements, trials, obstacles, and triumphs. I found out recently that love really is timeless, because when its true it stays in your heart forever. It defies time and defies all logic.
Today more than any other I know that everything happens for a reason and if you pray to god with all your heart, if he can he will help you. I got the sign I have been praying for, for days. I never expected it neither but I am glad it came in the shape of two wonderful souls.
Thank you again to everyone who reads and to everyone who emails, and leaves comments on this xanga. You helped me realize that while I write for myself, there are people out there who care about what I write and what's more they care if I write or not. Thank you so much

It can happen lady...it is out there....
The world does seem cynical and immune to all this bull** we call love. I think there is a bit of hope and romanticism in all of us. I mean if you really look at it, people create stories, movies, songs all about love. Finding one true love..enamoured love. Disney makes millions off the classic combination of true love between the knight in shining armour and a princess. We grow up in envy of that princess in hopes to have what she has. People, do feel like a princess and men want to be the stallion. Its not just fed by the media, but we see it in our parents, and those older couples we find so cute. As you can see, its everywhere..
that's very sweet =) might have restored my faith in love too. glad you're writing still
I used to wonder if everlasting love does exist...and after I read this, the more I believe it does. It is so inspiring and I'm so glad you write again..
Definitely agree with what you wrote! Whenever I see a pair of old couple can still in love, care for each other, hold hands...even after 50 years of marriage...that's just awesome...
I wish...I wish...may be one day...
Hasta la vista~
it is always great finding to be useful - giving a smile back to her owner is always a good sensation
why is everyone talking about love? AND WHY AM I NOT INCLUDED? ::kicks table::
And yes, tis' me in that profile pic, mon'amie!
Glad to see u back!
Stay blessed!
Hey, I should be thanking YOU! You always take the time to read my entries and leave such wonderful, encouraging comments which never fails to put a smile on my face. This entry of yours, I cannot agree more... I've met a couple during a church camp.. and they've been married for 48 years and STILL flirting with each other! They hold hands wherever they go, and he refers to her as "my sexy and gorgeous wife"... awwww... I love couples like that... I love how their love still burns even after such a long time... and I know deep inside, I would want to be like that too with my husband when I turn 60... lol. You take care, and never give up on love... because we are bankrupt without the hope of love. *hugs*
I never usually cry, but you had me tearing with your posts about love. Ahh....that which makes us feel so weak at times, yet strong at other times...
