Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
I Corinthians 13:4-8



Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.

I like that one. This is what I emailed my W today so when she gets to work she has it.

To my one true love.

“What greater thing is there for two human souls that to feel that they are joined... to strengthen each other... to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories.”

I emailed this my H today...

Love is about me, choosing to dance with you, with all of the stepped-on toes, and bad moves, along with the brilliant moments where I twirl just right or moments of great synch. I'm dancing the tango with you. Where the pauses and lamentations are just as inspiring as the swift, passionate movements. Just one hand on my back, leading me, while I lay my trust in you. It's a dance that cannot be traced by origin, but is a blend of many, and homage to many. It can be HOT and COLD within a few steps, but every step is a clear choice. We may get tangled up, but I say tango on...

Love,

C


He always like the movie 'Scent of a Woman', and the tango reference may remind him of that.

I wanted to share this too. My FWW's response.

Who needs a card when you can say I love you like that! You are my everything; I don’t feel complete when we’re not together. Whatever life brings, good, bad, I know it will be okay because we have each other.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!!

Eav,

Love never fails, because it is a choice. WE FAIL, with our choices...

silent

i made a choice to make changes in myself and in the way i show my love for my h

when i made that choice, i hung this on my refridgerator and started carrying it in my purse

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.


i have tried to live by this since then

if my husband never returns

then love will have failed ME

I don't think that love fails, again, I think others fail us. Your love for you H is good. Don't ever forget that. YOUR love will not fail you, you will grow, you will learn and you WILL overcome, and provide the safe haven for WH to come home. The love that I think many of us forget to cherish most, SELF-LOVE. If you choose it, it will not fail you.
