Love is being the best parent that I can be even though the relationship did not work out. It is being consistent and strong for the kids, even when I felt like breaking. Love is seeing the best of her in the girls and knowing that she gave me an amazing gift by sharing these phenomenal young women with me. (f)(f)

Love is when you're loved and accepted for who you are - inside and out. It's patient, kind & everlasting. It can be hidden away or found at first sight. It's comfortable, warm & daring. It's sharing, building connections, making dreams come true. It's affection and sometimes bickering. Love can make you the strongest you've ever been and bring you to your knees. It's family, friends, partners, community. It's life. It's my essence.

Love is love, even when it cant be expressed, even when obstacles rage before and behind it, even when it is dimmed or changed to accomodate..it remains love...

love is also getting a call at midnite on NYE so we can celebrate together even tho he is at work...

love is...
 

Love is.....

How his arms hold me tight as we sleep...

The way he kisses the top of my head....and the tip of my nose...

How he touches my face...and looks into my eyes...and tells me he loves me...

<3

Love is.....

how she and I fit together like a hand and glove.

That twinkle in her eye when I have caught her staring at me.

How she.can make me laugh at the silliest of things and times.

How I know she wants to ne part of a future that is achievable.

How she accepts me with all my faults.

How she sleeps on my shoulder every nite.

How she.invades my thoughts while I'm at work, driving home or any other time.

How she stood by me when I was knocking on deaths door. Actually she WAS the reason I wanted to live.

She is more then I thought I would ever have or deserve

Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”
― Bob Marley

true love is whenu know what u cant change and accept every part of their core and keep on loving them inspite of their inperfections ~ as long as they treat u right ~ other than that runnnnnnnnnn grl runnnnnnnnn

Love is knowing when to hold someone close and when to let them run free, knowing the real test is if they cirle back to soar with you as you float along.

Love is unconditional, non-judgemental, kind, simple, trusting, gentle...

Love is laughter and friendship...

Love is being a partner, friend, lover, cheerleader...

Love is...
 

When the whole world is telling you No, love is telling you Yes.

Love is . . .
 

Love is............freedom

Love is shopping with someone else's credit cards.
