Someone once asked me "what does love mean to you?"

 Love is more than just those first months of newness and discovery. Love is when it is real and destined to last, is in part the unconditional acceptance and respect for your love. Those swirling exciting feelings do not fade, they merely settle to rest under your feet to create the foundation of your lives together. As we go through our days we must hold a tiny seed in our hearts of those first days when love was new and must remember to never take love for granted. Love reveals itself in many ways but when it's true its always constant. It does not appear and disappear on a whim. It shows itself in small ways everyday. Perhaps it is revealed through a love note taped to the mirror that speaks more than words ever could.
 Love is something most pursue. When we finally catch it  we are elated to revel in its wonderful feeling that it brings. When we find love we lose it and we wonder why we chased it all, then after old wounds heal we realize that love is too wonderful to be missed. Love has the ability to grow and spread from the tiniest gestures into the grandest one. Love makes you brave, gives you hope, gives you courage to face insurmountable tasks. Love is a good teacher, it strives to teach us to be tolerant and accepting, to be silly and light hearted, and to be forgiving and understanding. In short, Love makes life worth living and i'm thankful that I have a lifetime to love you Preston.♥
