Love at first sight is easy to understand; it's when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle.

I feel like Forrest Gump saying this but my momma used to always say,

"Baby, you can do poorly alone, you don't need anyone to help you."

I'm finally getting to understand how critical that is to M, love and family. To me, it initially meant to cut and run when things got bad, but as I've grown a bit older and wiser, I know that it also means to stand firm on what you need; to be good to myself.

A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.

Happy marriages begin when we marry the ones we love, and they blossom when we love the ones we marry.

It's nice to get a laugh at some of these. My sense of humor is coming back. Man! I was so afraid that the sadness and devastation was going to rob me of that.

The greatest happiness of life it the conviction that we are loved - loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.

“Love is the free exercise of choice. Two people love each other only when they are quite capable of living without each other but choose to live with each other.”

“Genuine love is volitional rather than emotional. The person who truly loves does so because of a decision to love. This person has made a commitment to be loving whether or not the loving feeling is present.”

“Love is not blind…it sees more, not less. But because is sees more, it is willing to see less.”

“You’ve experienced true love if you’ve taken away the feelings, taken away passion and taken away romance… Only to find that after all that, you still care.”

“Real true love is having all the things go wrong but still having a special way to love despite of all the wrong things that had happened.”
