Close your eyes and listen to the words to this song. Imagine the love. The lasting longing. The way that they would look forward to the morning to just see each others faces. Looking forward to nightime to listen to each others sleeping breath. Real love. Forever love. I have been very busy lately. I am sitting with a very old couple. He had a stroke and can't say much of anything. He can say "she's my sweetie", while looking at his wife. He can say " I love you " to her. That's all he can say and somehow that is enough. They have lived a lifetime together. They have five children. He is 88 and she is 83. Time probably won't grant them many more years together. Maybe not even many weeks. She tells me of when he farmed and of the war. She tells me of leaving her family in Colorado and moving to Alabama to be with him forever. She worries if he is cold. or hungry. She worries whether or not if he understands her. I tell her that he does. Love is a language that any heart can hear. I haven't been able to visit many of you. To read your wonderful blogs. I am not home very much now. I have been with this couple. I have been learning. About love. About what the vow REALLY means when the minister says " till death do you part". I'm afraid the day will come very soon when I will have time to come back here often. He isn't doing well. It will be the end of a love story. One that touched very few lives but one that has touched mine. I am grateful.
