Brian pulled in today with Haley and a neighbors dog was loose. We’ve only been here a year and haven’t met ALL of the neighbors yet. She was a bit older and tripped as she was trying to catch her large dog. Brian helped her catch it and walked it home for her (as she was limping pretty good). She talked to him for a bit and told him that she lives her with her mom and her son was murdered 3 years ago. Her eyes teared up as she told him how difficult the holidays are without her son. To brighten her holiday we bought her a gift and are going to surprise her with it tomorrow! I can’t wait to give it to her!
So true!
I actually feel sorry for those who don’t believe love exists. Or maybe I just was really lucky! 14 years together (married 12) 2 kids, 2 war tours, an army life, a step child, - all the odds were against us, and we’re still madly in love. It’s an unconditional love. We are still each others best friend. It’s out there, and I hope those who dont believe - finds it!
