Sometimes I sit here and think that life is really bad and all is not right in the world, and then God jolts me back to reality. Life is so short and precious that we should not sweat the small stuff.
I help look after a man dying of Parkinson's. He is dying and has been admitted to the hospital. He and his wife have been married since they were both 18 yrs old. they are both in there 70's now. I see them and realize that love can truly endure all things. They have been together there whole life. She loves him deeply and it is hard to watch him die with dignity.
They make me realize that life is short and that love really is out there for people if they are willing to put forth the effort to keep it alive and well. It gives me hope that one day I will find that kind of love with someone. It makes me think truly that my problems are small and insignificant. Love and marriage is what we make of it. Not what we expect our partners to make it. I have truly been blessed to know this couple. It is hard and sad to see him suffer.
Love is out there for us...we just need to nurture it once we get it. I know it is possible.
