Love
I went with my grandpa & aunts to visit my grandma today in the nursing home. It always breaks my heart to see her there, especially when we have to leave. She usually cries and begs my grandpa not to leave her, she doesn't understand that he can longer provide the care for her she needs. Their love is beautiful. It wasn't easy, it may have been learned, and it was never perfect, but it's something wonderful to witness. My grandpa hugs her, kisses her, and dotes on her. He is the only thing she ever wants to talk about. Today we asked her what she wanted to talk about and she said, "Let's just talk about how wonderful my husband is!" It's the sweetest thing. Someday, I hope to find someone to care for me the way he cares for her, and someone with which to share that kind of love.

ReplyDeleteWhen I heard you talking about it at Starbucks to your mom I INSTANTLY thought of the wonderful portrayal of everlasting unconditional love in The Notebook. And actually had the urge to watch it right now. Haha. What a cheesy wonderful movie! lol.
ReplyDeleteHaha I know!! She's always trying to con him into getting into bed with her, a little awkward but sweet at the same time :) They're cute.
