I was driving and a song came on the radio, something about a guy crooning about how he would Catch a grenade for love but the girl wouldn't do anything like that for him. Here's the video if you haven't heard the song.
Now I don't know about most women, but I know that isn't my definiton of love. Yeah grand gestures are great and all but they don't cut it in the end. A grand gesture isn't going to make a relationship work in the long run. They look great in the movies right before they cut to the credits but what happens after the couple kiss? After you "jump in front of a train" who's there to change the children's diapers? Wake up with the kids in the middle of the night? Be there day in day out working 9-5 to make sure the bills are paid and there is food on the table? That to me is REAL LOVE. That's is my defintion of a the real deal. Stay by my side for 10 plus years and put up with my mood swings and that'll show a lot more courage than "catching a grenade for me".
So thank you to my dear husband for sticking with me and putting up with my mood swings for the last 10 yrs or so. And for continually making everyday small gestures like the cups of coffee that you bring to me while I take a shower (with a lid so it won't get wet) And getting up with the kids in the morning because you know I'm not a morning person. That means more to me than anything. I love you.
So true!
