  • I may not receive a box of chocolates this Valentine’s Day, though he’d surely buy me one if he thought I wanted it.
•
I may not receive any flowers, though I know without a doubt a vase of the most gorgeous colors would grace our table if he thought for one minute this would bring me joy.
•
I may not get a fancy gift this year, although I know he’d gladly buy me whatever he thought I would love.
•
Some years I get chocolates, and some years I don’t. Some years I receive flowers and other years I don’t. Some years I’m the recipient of the most beautiful gift, and some years we don’t exchange gifts. Some years we enjoy a lovely dinner out, and some years we stay home.
•
What I receive each year on this “day of love” varies from year to year, depending on any number of factors.
•
However, what I receive each day of the year never changes.
•
Each day, I receive the gift of some laundry that’s been folded, or some dishes that have been washed, or some floors that have been swept.
•
Each day I receive a listening ear, not just one that hears my words, but one that listens to my heart.
•
Each day, I receive the gift of encouragement.
•
Each day, I receive the gift of a loving dad who reads bedtime stories and tucks in littles, a dad who shampoos hair and gives piggyback rides, a dad who practices batting and fielding grounders, a dad who loves our children so beautifully.
•
Each day, I receive a hand to hold and loving arms to hold me.
•
Each day, I receive love. You know the chocolate hearts, roses, and sappy cards are nice. The thoughtful gifts and the fancy restaurants are lovely too.
•
But this isn’t love.
•
Love is simple kindness. Love is a powerful force. Love is trying again. Love is falling down and getting back up. Love is reaching across the distance once more to grab a hand. Love is putting another's needs above your own.
•
Love is a choice.
•
I’m not sure what I’ll receive for Valentine’s day this year, though it doesn’t matter all that much to me. Because true love is not an expression of gifts one day of the year, but rather choosing to love each day that we live.
We love this post from our friend at @nomamasperfect ❤️

  • I happened to follow this older couple around the Walmart yesterday for a few minutes. 
They were strolling through the store as if they were the only people in there, and by my guess were well into their 80s.
His arm never left her back. 
As a matter of fact, every few seconds he squeezed her harder towards him, and when he did, she would turn to look into his eyes, and practically giggle like a 15 year old girl who just ran into her crush at her locker between classes. 
Then he would stop walking, lean in close, and whisper something into her ear, and her gaze would linger in his eyes for just a few seconds more. 
I felt like I was watching two 20 something newlyweds furiously flirting, intimately sharing their evening plans with one another.
And then I thought...well, so this is how it’s going to end. 
This is how- if we’re lucky, husbands and wives will all end up. 
The two of them. The two of us. Just the two of us.
It will be exactly how we all started out, just us two, but after decades of a life that if we don’t let it crush our soul and we actually survive it, we will still have each other in the final years. 
Here is a couple who by my guess have probably been married for over 50 years. 
They had colicky babies.
They had petulant toddlers. 
They had teenagers slamming doors and crashing their cars.
They paid college bills.
They had unemployed grown kids living in their basement.
They threw birthday parties, bridal showers, baby showers, and weddings.
At some point they lost jobs, lost money, lost faith, lost hope, and probably spent months and maybe even years thinking they’d even lost each other, or at least, lost the love and chemistry they once had before the realities of life and family sucker punched them smack in the middle of their great love.
And yet they made it. 
We all have a lot of dreams and goals for our lives and our children, but when all is said and done, this is my goal. 
This couple right here, this is my goal. (Via @4boysmother - read the rest in the comments)❤️
