If you're going to say something stupid, don't get offended when someone calls you out on it. Stand by your foolishness! OR think before you speak! - from my deliciously snarky friend, Sara M.

Age

Age is just a number, not a measure of maturity or intellect.

My Duty

"Missing you is my hobby, caring for you is my job, making you happy is my duty, and loving you is my life."

Miss you most

"I miss you when I'm sad. I miss you when I'm lonely. But I miss you the most when I'm happy."

True Love

"Distance, it is a test of love, many will fail, but for those who can withstand it have the answer: true love."

Night Sky

"When you miss me just look up to the night sky and remember, I'm like the stars; sometimes you can't see me, but I'm always there."

Distance

"Distance between two hearts is not an obstacle, rather a beautiful reminder of just how strong true love can be."

Deeply Loved

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength; loving someone deeply gives you courage ~Lao Tzu

Hour of Separation

"And ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation."

-Kahlil Gibran

Lost Moon

New Moon

I was like a lost moon

my planet destroyed

in some cataclysmic,

disaster-movie scenario of desolation

that continued, nevertheless,

to circle in a

tight

little

orbit

around the empty space left behind,

ignoring the laws of gravity.

New Moon

Time passes.

Even when it seems impossible.

Even when each tick

of the second hand

aches like the

pulse of blood

behind a bruise.

It passes unevenly,

in strange lurches

and

dragging

lulls,

but it does.

Even for me.

Anything worth doing...

Anything worth doing, is worth doing differently. - John Minden


The above is a quote from my father. He and my mother have been married for 28 years. And he always makes light of the craziness in a marriage, the banter back and forth, the sense of humor that the two parties must have to live together for almost 3 decades or more. My parents have been married longer then they haven't been married. It's a very good feeling. I hope to make it in my marriage. But when things get tight, I remember what my father says about his marriage and my mother.

While sitting on the couch next to my husband on our Christmas with my family, my father says to my mother: Anything worth doing, is worth doing differently. He says it in a light-hearted manner. But I take it to heart. Anything worth doing... is worth doing the way that is easier and better for everyone involved.

I love you, Daddy!
