Love is…

Love is…

 

Love is… a choice.

Love is… knowing that without them, life would be empty and cold.

Love is… sharing tears.

Love is…worth fighting for.

Love is…a knowing glance across a room.

Love is… hurting for someone else.

Love is… a familiar smell.

Love is… something that is so easily tossed aside when times get tough.

Love is… not flowers and candy.

Love is…sickness, health, and everything in between.

Love is…Ramen and cereal for dinner while the baby eats organic baby food.

Love is… watching the eldest give selflessly to the little one (who has turned her world upside-down).

Love is… holding hands through IEPs, diagnoses, and sheer pain.

Love is… cuddling on the couch watching Wall-E for the 37,000th time.

Love is… helping to clean without being asked.

Love is… the joy of a milestone reached.

Love is… take- out Chinese on really rough days.

Love is…getting up at 2 AM to help change the bed (or give a bath to the child swimming in tube feed).

Love is… whispers around the fire after the children are asleep.

Love is…knowing the social security numbers of the entire family by heart.

Love is…patient and kind and good.

Love is…a blessing.

What is love to YOU?
