Love isn't always what is depicted on celluloid and sometimes
it is.
Going out for a pizza when I really wanted a cheeseburger.
Telling your wife that she's more beautiful than ever when her hair has fallen out from chemo.
Routine without life feeling like a routine.
Putting up with me once more saying, "I told you that already".
Having more hair in your ears than on your head.
Seeing past my age spots.
Hearing a noise and it didn't come from the dog.
Seeing my failures without pointing them out.
Saying, "Will you marry me" when I came as a packaged deal.
Never weary when asked over and over again, "Do I look fat?"
Love is.....
holding my hand until I took my last breath and left our world.
Love is a beach, make it one big sandbox of fun and fill it with love.
{go forth and live responsibly}
Valentines Day should be every day.

Beautiful Deb....xv
Valentine's Day *should* be everyday!!
Deb! Your first image cracked me up and was so perfect as the Valentine's picture we're doing in class today is of two fishy's in love, in a fishbowl!
Wonderful, funny, very real, and very touching post on love...true love! The image of your parents is so fitting for today...and look at your lovely mother's dress...very romantic. ♥
Happy Valentine's Day to you and your Scottish love!
xo J~
Oh Deb,
That was perfect. We have been married 35 years this year and we have NEVER celebrated Valentine's Day. Chris has always said that Valentine's Day is for unrequited love and that our's is requited. That's his excuse !!!! haha. I like to think that Valentine's Day is everyday ( well, most day's !!)
We must be psychic as I have just put my post up. We are obviously 'in tune'.
Enjoy the rest of this day of love. I am going to London for a couple of days, so will email when I get back. Lots of love. XXXX
It is the day-to-day that makes it so wonderful, even at 40 years now. Lovely post Deb and hope you are having a wonderfully romantic day. XO
Beautiful and thoughtful post, Deb.
Hope that your Valentine's day is wonderful.

Deb, so beautiful. This moved me, I am blown away!
WOW :)
Isn't THAT terrific!
merci carolg
so nice!
Just imagine if everyone lived and loved like this. I try.
Tru dat! Lovely thoughts for us to ponder.....
So true and so beautifully said! I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day Deb - you are one of the most special bloggers out there. Always first with a lovely comment and kind word! I appreciate it more than you know! xoxo
so special... you... and this amazing post.... xoxo
Deb, you know just how to cut to the essence! Wishing you a lovely day & week~
I do like Jacqueline's remark about Valentine's Day being for unrequited love only. I guess the requiting deepens and stabilizes with time, which gives rise to the truthful love you describe so well.
great images!
Once again you have brightened my day!!! You are the best :) Too funny too true and well put!
Thanks for the well wishes, am finally on the road to recovery and it feels great to feel good again ~ the little things in life....

Valentine's is over now, but this was such a lovely post. Very touching... still, it would have been nice if hubby bought me some chocolates (but don't worry, i bought plenty of my own... and I'm not sharing LOL).
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
*kisses* HH
Sounds like you
are married to
a special man!
Beautiful and
insightful words,
sweet Deb. I
hope your day
was as special
as you are!
xx Suzanne
PS: My mom is
in town and I'm
behind on visits;
we are tackling
a ton of projects.
PPS: Call me next
time you are in
town and we can
meet at MOA : )
Deb, I just love how you love your guy, your kids, your family, your friends....and The Steve!
We both have so much going on these days but you always make time to stop and connect with us, sometimes as a group of bbf's and sometimes it's just you and me.
That makes you so very special to everyone and to me. I hope you know that.
You are a valentine!

Yes, it should be and you live it so fully! I just love how big in heart and full of life you come across in your blog. You are such a gift to us in the blog world, I can only imagine how wonderful those that are closest to you feel and are blessed :) XOXO

What a beautiful post! I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day with your loved one! I do think love is something that should be celebrated all your round - a shame that a few new Valentine's Day as a reminder (mostly men... though not my man).
well this just about made me burst into tears. i am missing the love lately! hopefully this kind of love comes along soon for those of us that don't have it right this second! :)
Oh Deb, I just realized how much I have missed reading you! Have much to tell you and almost everything is great. Love and Congrats to you, no one deserves it more than you.
Love,
Your Blog Sister,
Carol
Hi Deb!
This was a delightful post..... I like the comment about the noise and the dog, you are too funny! Maryanne xo
Chiming in extremely late, but this is the most delightful post and it made my whole face smile. Thank you! It reminded me again to make everyday Valentine's Day a little bit, even in the midst of children, dogs, work and life.
Best,
Shani
This year Valentine passed by without my noticing it...it is quite late that I read your touching post. You have such a way with words....belated Happy Valentine to you.
Lovely thoughts, Deb. And since I am just catching up to a post from 2/14 on 3/3 it works for me! Hope all is well with you.
Best,
Colleen
Beautiful, beautiful sentiments! You had me in tears by the end.
