Hubby and I went on a spur of the moment trip out of town to a nearby lake. There is a boat that goes sailing around the lake around sunset with dinner and dancing included.
Dinner was great, we just enjoyed ourselves and the views. It was pretty chilly, so we stepped inside to watch the basically one man band. He was TOTALLY cheesy. It was great.
On quite a few songs, this older than they looked couple, would get up and start dancing. They did all sorts of dances, it was entertaining to say the least. But every time they got up to dance a slow song, you could just see the love radiating from them. It was so beautiful, so emotional, so passionate.
Later, I approached them and asked them how long they'd been together, over 40 years. I was amazed that after 40 years, they still held so much love for each other. I expressed how adorable they were and she said under spiky hair with a think southern accent, "Well bless you're heart, thank you!"
In life, we're all searching for that. Searching for that one person that you fall so hard for that you can't picture your life without them. That just about every moment you think, "I'm not going to love you anymore than I do right now." And in the morning, you're surprised how much more you already do.
It's beautiful, it's powerful, it's raw. I wish and hope everyone of you will find that.
