Love exists

The day I found love was recently in a hospital. It was when I watched a Wife hold her Husband’s dying body deeply in her arms. The look on her face expressed the realization that few minutes remained before her love would be taken away from her. As she wept, I felt her pain overwhelm me. I could practically feel her Husbands pulse growing weaker, dimmer until finally his last breath occurred. Before her Husband died, I had the opportunity to speak to her numerous times. Both her Husband and my Grandfather were dying and before my Grandfather was brought home, I got to know her very well. She told me her life story with the man she loved so deeply and how she married her sweet heart. How they traveled the world together- experiencing the most incredible adventures through Australia, Europe, Africa and much more. She told me of their continuous love affair that lasted an entire lifetime. I knew she spoke of no ordinary love. Instead she described a love so rare, that it could only be imagined to most. I knew it was real when I saw her Husband look into her eyes and his eyes said I love you, I love you and I love you until he was gone. To know a love like that exists in the world is incredible. When you find love like that, you definitely know it and hold on to it as tight as possible. It was nice to see her be strong enough to comfort him the whole way. When I asked her what she is going to do without him, she replied, “I am going to continue living my life as if he never died.” I took that as she was going to continue living as happy as before and to be thankful for all the memories she did have with him.

Just a moment I will remember for the rest of my life. 

I wonder how many more moments I will have like this where it feels like I am brought back to the present and living in it completely. Because of her, I will try to live more presently and appreciate the beauty and people all around me. 

Don't get caught up in all the crap. :) Remember theres life all around that needs to be lived. If that makes sense. Anyway, I hope you all are having an amazing day and that  you all find love like this...if you haven't already.
