I started to post yesterday but didn't get past the sign on screen. Too many things going on and not enough concentration to write.
Months ago I read "The Notebook" by Nicolas Sparks. What a beautiful love story, I cried when I read the book and had been refusing to see the movie because typically movies don't do the novel justice. Last night, I gave in and watched the movie as it was on satellite. I was instantly drawn into the characters, the movie followed the book quite closely, yet expounded upon the characters and storyline to bring you closer. What an amazing love story, full of hope and so tragic towards the end.
Kurt and I have traveled a path that has not always been easy thru out our history. We were so in love in school yet circumstance seperated us, each of us living seperate lives until we were once again brought back together. He will still ask me if I think that other people love each other with the same intensity that we do. God, I hope so. I hope that everyone can know that soul deep kind of love, the kind that when you think about not having that person in your life, you feel like you can't breath. When Allie left towards the end and Noah didn't know if she would come back, he grabbed his chest like he couldn't breathe, his emotion and love was so apparant. That is the kind of love that we all should know in a life time. Like Noah and Allie, in the movie, our road has been tumultous, we are both headstrong people and there have been TBI issues along the way that could have derailed us, but love remained the constant. I have never thought about the end of our lives until watching "The Notebook". I pray that our journey together will see us both live far into the future, I don't want to think of a day that I would have to spend on this earth without him. How beautiful and yet so sad that Noah and Allie passed together, holding on to one another, but I can't think of a better way to pass into eternity than in the arms of your life....
Melancholy I know.......I cried so much last night while watching the movie that I woke up with puffy eyes this morning. I have to say that I do love a movie that can make me cry, there is something cleansing about a good cry.
Evan is having growing pains, I hurt for him. I remember my knees hurting when I was little. When we were at Grandpa's he would wake up with me and rub Icy Hot or Rubbing Alcohol on my knees and just hold me. I've pulled out the Icy Hot, Motrin and hugs for little man, hopefully he will feel better soon. He's also at that age where is is worried about something happening to Mommy or Daddy. All of the kids went thru that, we have been woken in the middle of the night by each of them telling us in some form or another that they never want to leave us, they are never leaving home and what if we die. I guess it is a natural phase in growing up. Evan has an emotional fit everytime we talk of building our house, he just doesn't want anything about our lives to change. Kurt remembers being terrified that someone would come into their house and kidnap he and his brother and his parent's wouldn't know or someone would get his parents. I remember being obsessed with the the thought of something happening to my parents. We promise them that Mommy and Daddy will always be here and will always protect them from everything.....I pray that we will always be able to shelter them from all of the ugly in the world and God will grant us all of the years to watch them far into their adulthood.
Today is the one year anniversary of baby Allie's passing, pray for her parent's today. Childhood cancer needs to be eradicated, it is hurting so many children and families today. Pray for a cure and help make a difference.
I did want to share a few pictures that I snapped of Lilli yesterday afternoon. I took her to the park for a little bit and she adored the slides. Refused help from Mommy so that she could do it by herself!
Going down the slide, wearing her snack on her shirt! LOL
