Oh, bringing out the big guns today, huh? Well, let’s get to it. What am I going to say new about love? Probably not a lot. Still…I am so grateful for love–the show up and be consistent love, the matching of actions to words love, the gentle calm love, the vibrant passionate love, the tender touch love, the belly laugh love, the hold your hand while your world is crumbling love, the cook you a meal because you can’t love, the kind word love, the smile of encouragement love, the hug in the kitchen love, the conversations deep into the night love, the curious about your day love, the got your favorite ice cream love, the this reminded me of you text love, the tough conversations love, the persistent even when you don’t feel like you deserve it love.
I’m thankful for the love that continues even after the people I love have gone. I’m thankful for the love that breaks my heart over and over and over again because it means my heart has room for more love. And I’m so thankful that I still haven’t met every person I’m ever going to love in this life yet.
