This has been one crazy week -- in the middle of all the DA stuff you've seen me go thru - I've been looking for a new house to move.....my husband....still no work. :( He is trying but it seems like there is some huge black cloud over his head.
His car broke down - so another thing to add to his ever growing list.

I guess what I'm trying to say with this image - especially in the month of June as many prepare to get married is this..
It may seen wonderful now - everything is positive and happy - the way it ideally should be. But prepare yourself for days where it will seem sad, dark and rather gloomy...
It is in those times you must remember the good - and why you are with the other.
It is easy to say the words, "In sickness and in health - for richer or poorer" -- but not so easy to actually live sometimes.

This is my piece for you who are either just starting on their journey - or perhaps hitting many bumps in the road like we are right now.
Don't lose hope - don't give up. Keep your love alive.

:heart:

haiku by me (simple I know)

keep the love alive
do not let your hearts grow cold
in good times and bad

I love this so much. It's so moving.

You know I feel that way too. I think people say things and don't think about what it really means. I met my bf when he was going through chemo for hodgkin's lymphoma. It's hard to watch someone you care about go through that. We've been together nearing two years now. :) He told me a while back that I saved his life. One of his doctors told him he was going to die. So he was planning to take care of it himself if it got too bad. He said my love and prayers gave him hope. :heart: I'm happy to say he's happy, mostly healthy, and cancer free! Thank God! :love:

what a story! Thank you for sharing...
Now that is what I say are true problems....

I mean - I try to always put things in perspective.
We are having terrible financial times -- oh well -- BUT if one of my children were really sick -- no money can fix that....
So at least we are together and healthy -- we can muddle through this somehow.

Your boyfriend was very blessed to have such a sweet person to look after him - and he knows it --
and he should realize he gave just as much back to you in return, even if he doesn't see that.

:heart:

When you live selflessly like that - grace flows from one to the other... it's beautiful.

You're welcome! :heart:

Oh it's so true though. It's so easy to get bogged down in things when there's so much to be thankful for. I'm so thankful I can walk again! (spinal tumor a couple yrs ago) It's funny how you take things for granted. I went to a six month rehabilitation dr appointment a couple days ago. I saw several people who were permanently in wheelchairs. It makes me so thankful for what health I do have. Nothing can ever replace people you love. :love:

Awww thank you! :tighthug: I tell him often how much of a support he's been to me. He's really encouraged me to dream again and to trust that I'm capable of more than I think. He's always so attentive to my health issues (poor stamina/chronic pain). I've told him more times than I can count I'm so very grateful for him. He's never once complained about me needing help or more care. :rose:

:hug:
These are the kind of things I like to hear! :)
and it is stories like this, when shared, that truly inspire the rest of us.

Give your bf a hug from me!
(and one for you too of course) ;-)
