Love is...<3

Love is:

when your are sick as a dog and she wipes your forehead with a cool
cloth; even tho u are blessing the porcelain goddess

not wondering what its like on the otherside of the fence.

accepting the annoying crap like toothpaste cap left off, toilet paper put on the roll the wrong way, bathtowels lying on the floor, car always left with an empty tank, always burning my grill cheese sandwich, leaving a 1/16th of a teaspoon of juice in the container and putting it back in the fridge, shrinking my silk suit in the washer, turning all my white undershirts pink, calling me 3 hours after i fall asleep when she is away cause she is lonely, dropping my cell phone in the ocean....and knowing in the greater scheme of things I will miss every one of the stupid things if something were to ever happen to her.

not expecting her to be any more perfect than I am....and

accepting the fact that we can be assholes, jerks, inconsiderate idiots at times cause we are human.

love is.... just saying screw it and taking each others hand and continuing thru the muck and riding the roller coaster of life.

love is....
when she kisses my eyelids before bed and holds me, playing with my hair until I fall asleep.

when she cooks amazing dinner she knows I will like when I had a long day at work.

never judging me for mistakes I have made in the past.

always accepting all I have and all that I am.

During the time my sister was at NIH, she endured several rounds of chemo, stem cell therapy, experimental drugs, and other therapies. However, she wasn't the only patient there. When you are there, you see others suffering, and you meet other families. At first you are strangers, then within minutes you are family.

We all seemed to help each other out, with caring for our loved ones who were terminally ill. We would do everything from wiping their butts from severe diarreha, to getting buckets of ice chips to share, to bottled water, to taking the time to sit with their loved one while they took a break to get a cup of coffee or eat a quick meal. It was a balance of love, knowledge, and strength.

Some would bring in lap tops and share new information on such and such. And find out who was doing the cutting edge medicine and drugs of whatever disease their loved one had.

Unfortunately, we all shared in the mourning of the loss. It gave us more strength. We ended up going to the many many funerals. And some even spoke at them. It was about forgiveness. For the doctor not being able to get there in time. For the treatment not working. And the list can go on and on. It is all about finding a place for the ugly side of being sick to be. It is love. Life shared is more rewarding than when you are alone. It shows your spirit.
