“IT”

My wife and I have been married for 40 years, now. Wow, how the time flies. I have grown more and more in love with my wife over those 40 years; you see love is real, not just the physical aspects of a relationship. It has to grow and be nourished. If it's not given enough attention it will wither and die. I know that we are not "pre-versed" on what love is and how to get it; it seems that when you meet the one who you know is "it", that you will learn all there is to know about each other and still be there for them. I remember when I first met my wife she was my "it", I knew from the first moment we met that I would fall deeply and eternally in love with her. It was sort of a "moment" that you feel in your heart and mind telling you that "she" is the one. That same day I saw her again and I got that "moment" again, she was the most beautiful girl I have ever met. She has qualities that I love and admire; I didn't feel that for anyone else before, so it was new emotional territory. When you are young you think that you are "in" love, but it is just that a "feeling" and it doesn't have the impact in your life that "it" has. I keep calling "it" the "it"; I think that anyone out there knows what I am referring to. You know what? You have the good times and the bad times in your relationship that form your feelings and thoughts for each other, and you seem to always test those feeling all of your life, asking yourself, "Can this be true, is this love?" and we always look back at our lives previously and you know that beyond a shadow of doubt, that it is. Did you know that we are all authors of great stories? Think about it, every day you share with your wife is part of your "Life Book" all of your experiences, emotions and feeling are part of your "Life Book", Sometimes not sure what to expect, you are forming your stories, of your life together. Wow, what a "moment", I love my wife and in my first page, I dedicate my "Life Book", to her. She is the muse of my great Love story and we are always writing, feeling, experiencing the words that are created especially for "it".
