I grew up, married, divorced, married again, but always
wondered...am I really in love? Do I love her? Sharon, my wife was
laying on the couch after one bought of her chemo treatments,
feeling ill and looking sick. I was sitting across the room when the
thought came to me....Am I in love? How much would I sacrifice?
Shhh... She is asleep now. I looked at her face, her 40 something
year old face and thoughts raced through my head. The night she woke
up in tremendous pain. Even liquid morphine would not stop it. I
took her to the hospital for her pain. I did not know what else to
do. The times she woke up from God knows how many operations and I
was there. Finally, I knew the answer to my question. I looked at
her asleep on the couch and wished with all my heart that it was me
on the couch with the cancer and her sitting in the chair. Yes, I
would have taken her cross from her and bore it as well as I could.
The answer was before me, around me, yes, I know what love is,
yes I am in love and yes, I am loved.
Sharon though you may not be here today, I wish you a very happy
Valentine's Day.
Thank you for teaching me about love, for allowing me to learn
about sacrifice, honor and commitment.
Yours forever,
Your Hublink,
