Love Gazing…..

In so many ways, it’s the littlest things in life that fill my heart and soul with the wonders of love.  As I lay next to Mike on a motel bed with the sounds of Grace breathing heavily with sleep in the next bed over, knowing that just two short days ago Mike had another seizure (not a bad one at all, but they ALL scare the bejesus out of me to be honest), I’ve been rubbing his back and caressing his head to put him asleep.  I’m gazing at the laughter lines that squint out of the sides of his eyes and made me fall in love with him several years ago.  Just watching him and smiling.  Maybe I’m even getting a little teary-eyed.  Loving him in the simplest of ways.  Knowing that I can count on him and him on me, just when we always need it the most.  To quote a popular reality show (and boy is our life full of reality) “It may not be a perfect life, but it’s OUR life.”  I don’t think I’d have it any other way!

Well, OK maybe I’d want it a little less dramatic and medically inclined, and perhaps a little more financially stable, but other than that, I love our life, and I love him. 

Yes, you may all start the vomiting now. lol
