They Don't Make em Like That

This song hit home today.

It took my mind to my grandma and how she told Tim, "Don't ever stop holding her hand." Later she informed me my grandpa used to take her hand all the time and it is those moments you miss more than anything. The small stuff as people like to call it.

The verse about "a love like that"; is something I strive for. A love for someone so pure that once they are gone you don't want to replace them. That is what my grandma feels for my grandpa. I feel this is something only few are special enough to feel and be a part of. I think my twin was able to get a glimpse of this as well. That pure, unadulterated love... the love you never want to forget.

I understand this emotion with my husband. I understand how truly blessed I am to have him. Sometimes I may not share with him how much he means to me. I even fail to share with others. Maybe it is because this is something I keep secret. I keep it close to my heart because I fear when I speak about it maybe it steals a bit of the pureness. It doesn't. If anything it adds to it. Maybe I should share with others. I think we should be able to share our love stories.

My mom and dad have this love as well. Granted there are times in their relationship they want to probably murder one another, but I know they could never replace one another. I know that without one another they would be lost. What a blessing to have someone you feel that for.

So - seeing as how it is Valentine's this Thursday. Share your love story. Cast away the feeling of someone may judge it, or compare it. Who cares. It is your love. Not theirs.
