“In sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part.”
In sickness and in health.
-Seeing first hand of other couples fighting sickness or nourishing back to health has always been the one thing I adore about “love”.
Ever sit at a hospital and just watch?
Have you ever wondered- as I have from the beginning, what their story is?
- Who is sick-
- What went wrong-
- Who is getting better-
- Why are they here.
You end up wondering if it is a child of an elderly couple whom picked up a sickness he/she is fighting. You then wonder if it is a newlywed couple giving birth to their first child. You question if maybe, just maybe- it is a husband whom may be waiting for a spousal surgery for cancer removal.
Can you see him?
Can you see how much he loves her. How scared he is something will go wrong.
Can you see in his eyes how thankful he is for everything she has done and has becomed.
Can you see him?
He falls in love with her every day.
I can see it.
I can see how times in our lives, like today- will make you reflect to who you are.
Who you have become.
What you want.
Times like today- I can see who I love, who I miss and who I know that I’m standing here for.
It is times like today when I reflect back to what I wanted compared to what I need.
- It is times like today where I get reminded how strong and addicting love can be.
It is times like today where I wish I had loved my first as much as he did me.
It is times like today where I realize the one person I have loved can not send the same love I need.
The addicting, the strong and the “I would die without you” love.
The love I see here.
The love I have seen here 9 years ago.
The love I saw in his eyes.
The love I will always reach for.
The kind I understand.
-Do you see him?
I do.
He can not wait till his best friend comes out of surgery cancer free.
She can not wait to see him.
She can not wait to see him.
