Tomorrow is my parents 29th wedding anniversary. Things have not always been wonderful for them, and they are not perfectly matched in any manner. But, my mother loves my father. Today, while I went with her to buy the food for a picnic date she has planned for them tomorrow, I listened while she talked. She told me she knows that staying with my father has made her life more difficult, and while she knows it may not have been the best choice, she doesn't think it was the wrong choice. Its amazing to think of all the love that decision has involved. She loved him enough to find a way around all of his bad habits, all of the setbacks to their life he has caused, all of the hardship she has endured. For her, it was all worth it. That is a truly joyful thought. I hope someone can love me that much some day.
