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.

LOVE is our cat Kingsley giving me kisses in the morning and talking my ear off...(he just wants his food but I like to pretend he just likes to talk to me)

Meeeeeeeeeeow meow MEEEEOW meow!!! meow.

AND

is LOVE.

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.

Giving someone you love the space they need...

Love is...Not always about the smiles and laughter but really being fully present to wipe away your lovers tears when necessary.

Love is...Acceptance that loving another involves loving the whole person with all of their imperfections.

Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense.

Love is talking before the game, her being there at half-time and waiting to talk till the game is over, and still there when it's OT which "goes till the next day".
