Love is???

love is,.

never having to say you're sorry, (cliche) .

knowing that your soulmate is human and does make mistakes.. finding another kindred spirit, after fate pulls your first love from your grasp.. acknowledging you don't have all the answers, and that you really don't know everything.. knowing there is a purpose for the universe, sometimes you can see it, and sometimes you can't, even if you try.. not allowing the memory of love lost and its abounding beauty to blind us to the future prospect of love to come.. cherishing and honoring the memory of those we have loved and lost.

How long are people remembered?

.

unless you are famous for something how long are you really remembered?.

maybe you are remembered at most by your grandchildren, but then your presence in the universe is gone.. so, really, what difference does it make whether you die in your 40's or your 70's, your memory simply lingers another 30 years at most.

i saw a video last night and part of it reminded me of childhood stories that had been relayed to me from people who had been raised as jw's, so i thought some here might find it interesting.

the video is called "the queens of comedy" and the 2nd comic on the show is adelle givens.

she does a bit in her act about what it was like growing up with a grandmother that was convinced that the world was in it's "last days" and how that affected her as a young girl.

i ran across this recently.

so, i guess its my new favorite quote.

"the difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast: the chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'.

today my daughter is ten years cancer free.

of course, much of that is owed to the tranfusions of blood products.

products that i did not hesitate to have given to her.. with so much going on in my life (recent death in the family), this board, and just the general rush of life, this very important day nearly got by me.

i just wanted to express my thanks to all on this db for your support and bluntness when needed over the past year.

yesterday 10/8 was the 1 year anniversary of jon's death and i spent it reflecting and just chilling out cause that's what i thought was best.

one thing that came to mind was the help i recieved here and the words of sympathy and encouragement that many of you expressed after jon passed and i just wanted to pass along my thanks again for your kindness.
