There is something to be said about this thing called LOVE.
Love can keep you up at night or it can get you thru the night. It’s spoken in many different languages and can have many different meanings. Like, the love between friends, the love between family or the love that I feel every time I put on something cheetah print, lol.
The thing about love is that it all pertains to the heart. That big beautiful muscle that gives us life is controlled by those four little letters.
L.O.V.E.
The love that is on my mind right this second, in my opinion, is the biggest kind of love there is (besides the love between a mama and her young-ins)…
It’s the love that we make vows for. The love that makes our heart skip a beat and our stomachs do flip flops for. And don’t even get me started about those wildly, crazy butterflies that, by the way, I still get when I hear Cowboy’s voice.
This thing called love that is between a husband and a wife tops just about every other kind of love (again, my opinion). It’s the kind of love that you can count on when you’re having a humdinger of a day. It’s the kind of love that you know will get you thru the hardest of hard times but can also scare the bejesus out of ya.
It’s the kind of love that because you love that person so much, you ignore the things that would otherwise tick ya off and make you want to take that stick from the popsicle that you just ate and poke him (or her) in the eyeball a time or two…just a smidge.
ME: (Noticing Cowboy is carrying his pillow and shaving kit) Where are you going with that?
COWBOY: I’m having a hard time sleeping so I thought I would sleep in Boy Wonder’s room.
ME: Umm. We’re supposed to sleep in the same bed. That’s usually how it goes in a marriage.
COWBOY: I know honey but I keep waking up because of the snoring.
ME: Aww, you’re so sweet (insert heart emoji here). But your snoring doesn’t bother me. I sleep right thru it.
COWBOY: It’s not my snoring, its yours.
Delete that heart emoji, I’ve changed my mind.
’til next Sunday y’all- Tammy π
