Do you remember a time in your life when you stopped needing and looking for love, and it found you?

I remember a date about 16 years ago, she wanted me to pick up 2 tacos, so when I got to her house, she was coming out of her front door.  I grabbed the tacos from the front seat, got out of my drivers side door, set the tacos on my seat, then walked around to open her door for her, shut it, walked back around to get in my door, and sat on the tacos.  Needless to say, the relationship went on for only about 3 months.  Not that I got tired of being called 'taco-butt', it just had it's reasons for not working.

Can you remember when you first fell in love?  That first overall rush from head to toe?

It consumed us so much!  Like everyday was the 4th of July.....fireworks, fun and laughter!

Then,as time went on, disappointments set in, the love fades, it dies, and we find ourselves changed, overcome by heartache, lost.  We became hesitant to love again, it hurt too bad the first time around.

Then as time went on, we found that it was possible to love again, someone new.

We matured out of that first love with the mindset of how we first thought that love should feel in order to love again.

It's amazing how love can end with someone from a past relationship, but it can stay alive in our hearts when it's the love for someone that has passed away.

It's a lasting love that we have for our loved ones, a superior and unconditional love that forces us to re-learn ways to survive our grief, and take a new direction in our lives.

Love should be happiness without the pain.

We have to go through our grief to find our lost selves, obviously......

No way did we ever want to lose them, but we did.  And we can't bring them back, but we can look into our hearts and see that who we are crying and missing over is the love of our lives!

They're in our hearts for the rest of our lives, that's where they live!

My wife Jami was in my dream again last night, and for the first time, her face was very photogenic, so pure and real, more than past dreams.  She was speaking of things she had for me, and I saw paper-like symbols, figures, sort of like cards.

Over the past 2 months I have found many of her love letters, cards, notes, that she gave to me or left on a counter or dresser.  She's still sending me her love....in my dreams....how beautiful is that?

If you ask me, love can't wait, we have to show our love to our families and whoever is in our lives, more love, because folks..take a few steps back and look at our world today and you will see that compared to love, everything else is BS.

Love is the only thing that isn't!

True love is expressing it and spreading it around you, and not expecting anything in return, and when you stick with that, it will find you.

This world is full of BS, so always watch where your stepping!!

Love to you all, and that's no BS!

Your good grieving friend,
