Sommerauer71: Ginger, you have been my mentor and guidance, you know this.
Have I been there with my ex husband? No! We are borne children and we are expected to love them, we bear them, we feed them, we teach them, each day, for me as a mother, I adjusted my feelings for them, because each day their needs were different.
Should we not, as people, place that in our partnerships? I can not get out of my head that once in love, nothing else matters, of course it does, love is a feeling, we need it, we want it, yet we all seem to take it for granted, and expect that everything will be ok once it is here...
Once it is here, should we them not, as we do our children, love and nuture, care and cherish it?
And yes, until you have felt it, then how the hell can any person grow it and love it...
Love is not something that drops in our laps, it is a feeling, an emotion that becomes a peg to attach our coats on, when we are feeling hurt, lost and alone. Like any other feeling, we should take it and embrace it, and welcome it, and take care of it, like a guest in our home... Not take it for granted, hang on to it like it is coming into prohibition...
That is love to me...
