A dear family friend just passed away and the news of their
passing has left me in a very pensive state. As I cry about them, knowing that
one I WILL see them again... I still am saddened by their passing...
I've been watching some movies of beautiful love stories.
Stories that are both sad and happy. And I've been reflecting on one of my
favorite books by Nicholas Sparks: The Rescue.
Like most girls I've grown up wanting true love. My parents
had that strong love like that, and so did the marriage of the person that just
passed away... I've seen that true, strong love my whole life, with my
grandparents, and my brother and sister-in-law have it. My cousins have married
men and woman that they have that kind of love with... And I've always wanted
that.
But I'm 27 years old and the older I get the less I think
that will happen for me. This breaks my heart. But then I watch movies like a
walk to remember and I think about my parents and I still have a glimmer of hope.
True love isn't perfect, strong love isn't perfect. It all
comes with a large amount of humanity. But it's still nice and it IS worth
fighting for. It takes a lot of hard work.
When I was watching A Walk To Remember I thought of the fact
that Jamie brought out the best in Landon, but HE brought out the best in her
too. When she finally told him she was dying,
after he got over the shock he knew they still were meant to be together
for as long as she was on this earth. He fought to prove to her that he wasn't
going anywhere. She believed him and they STILL helped each other grow. That is
true love! That is what I want.
As with everyone I have things in my life that aren't
perfect. I want that kind of love and it is SO hard to find. What I usually find
is a guy that thinks he knows more about life and faith than I do. I find the
guys that want to control me or that want to cling to me. I want a guy that I
respect and one that loves me for me. Maybe one day... but for now I'll think
of the loves I know of both fictional and in real life.
I also want to say to the family of the family friend we've lost that I am praying for you. I know this woman was wonderful and touched so many lives. She touched mind and I will miss her dearly.
