I want to be loved like that

 

 

At a funeral I went to on Friday, a man who was married 50 years, did a slide show and a speech dedicated to his wife.

The music, the words spoken, the setting and the whole feeling was extremely loving.

He had cared for and loved  her during her good health as well as her terrible illness in a way that was quite extraordinary. Spectacular. Beautiful.

I will never be married for 50 years.

But I want to be loved like that.

And I want to love like that.

I know I would be so good at it.

I want a shot at the big one.

Just pull me aside quietly, give me a drink of something strong, slap me across the face and tell me if you think I am foolish to still hold out for that.

    Let’s make it happen Nance, both you and me xoxoxoxo

  4. Dwell in possibility, to quote Dickinson,as you live all your other moments. This will come too.

  5. Nance – hold out. It is there. Hard to find? Yes. Impossible? No. It doesn’t have to be 50 years either. Even if you only have a short time to love someone like that it is worth it. You’ll be lucky enough to find it. I just know it. It is the best.
