My love

I need to tell you something. I'm sappy. If you have read any of my blog you already know this. I just realized how very sappy I am. I was looking at a picture of my husband and I felt all this love and my heart became full and I thought he is adorable. I've been married to this man almost 30 years and every day I am thankful for him. He is one of a kind. When I said I need to move mom in with us, he said ok. When My nieces needed to come live with us, he said ok. Not knowing how long they would need to be with us, he still said ok. No questions. No hesitation.

On my Facebook there are a lot of posts about broken relationships or how to find the right man. Did I just luck out? I try and think back about my decisions when I was a teenager, was I looking for the right man? Was I even looking? I don't really think so. I was just randomly at some bowling alley and my friend knew him and introduced us.  And I fell in love. My mom did not think it would last. I wasn't a relationship girl. I never committed to one guy for very long, Before Earl my longest dating experience might have been a couple of months. I got bored easily and quickly. My friend even told him don't get your hopes up she doesn't date anyone very long.

But they were both wrong. I never looked at another guy again. None even came on my radar. I had tunnel vision and all I saw was Earl, with the passion of a teenagers heart.

So I guess I did luck out that the one guy I fell in love with was the best guy for me. Or maybe my mom was praying for me because I did worry her. Or maybe because my dad liked him and he never liked any guy that I dated. There is never a rhyme or reason to love. Circumstances be what may I truly believe your heart knows. I knew.

I think Earl knew too.

Even if he didn't he stuck around, for a very long time. And he is still my love.

Forever.
