B. The Love of My Life.
I was just thinking about how I'd like the kind of love my parent's had. The kind of love my mom had.
They were married for 36 years, together for...I'm going to round up to 40. 40 years to love someone and see them through so so many changes in them and your lives together.
And I was also thinking that this is just another one of the times I was thinking how my life, how I grew up was untraditional (I think that's an understatement.) ...mother, married and divorced twice. 3rd time was the charm and she got to marry the love of her life. Moving every couple of years or so. Living overseas. So many different schools. My whole life the process of adapting to new circumstances, new life.
And what we share is that throughout all of the changes in my own life, the love has been there, strengthening and deepening over decades.
He's there on the sidelines, being my biggest cheerleader. It's corny as hell, but he's the wind beneath my wings.
but yes, both also having their high high's and the low, low's.
There's this whole thing about love language and in learning about both your own and the one of your love and how it strengthen relationships.

Words of affirmation
Quality time
Acts of service
Gifts
Touch
My love language is touch, but also a lot of interruption, constant change, sometime chaos/drama, passion, joy, excitement. :D
I need to learn more of his...pay better attention to his. Shit do I even know what his is??? I want to say words of affirmation...but ??
3 years for me to cross the next bridge...or go through the next door...in our relationship. Start thinking of him more, me less. His life is so very different than mine.
It's going to be interesting.
