…it’s raw, it’s true, it’s how love should be.” L.B. Miller
That’s right. Today I’m quoting myself. I actually think it’s cool that I HAVE a quote (albeit it’s my only one). I got it from something I said in a letter to someone once. After rereading my letter, I liked that sentence and decided it would be my quote.
Loving fiercely. What does that mean? To me, it means never giving up on someone, no matter what. It means chasing them down just to make sure they are ok. It means sitting up all night worrying about them. It means spending hours writing to them, hoping you can help keep their world together. It means answering the phone any time – day or night. At times, in a crisis situation, it means sleeping with your phone. It means worrying about them when they are sick and getting the right medicine to them. It means listening to them when they just need to talk and talk. It means not judging their life choices. It means welcoming them and their friends into your home always. It means leaving the door open so they can always come home to clean sheets and good food when the world is not on their side. It means never lying to them, even when it will put you in hot water. It means being the example of never leaving, so they will know how it’s done. It means loving them so unconditionally that they will become experts at that, too.
In short…..loving fiercely means….being a mom.
Another day goes by, I love my girls, and I have written.
