There's no "falling," it's just there - a shining light, bathing your heart in its purity. Then comes the sleepless nights, aggravation, reward & punishment, teaching, etc. But the love remains, even if you block it out with anger, sorrow, or other negativity at times, it's there waiting when it clears, and many times, love clears it away for you. For those who didn't get to experience this kind of loving home, well, that just breaks my heart, man. It's a feeling I never felt that strongly before I had kids (not for my own parents, siblings, or friends). I've felt it for my wife, sure, but with children (for me, anyway), it's an amazingly strong feeling.
Great post RTBoss. Reminded me of a couple of years ago when a friend and I were discussing "love" and falling in love and how it was easy when we were younger and how it seems an impossibility.
I especially like the above paragraph where you mention "when a child is born, love comes built-in". Gave me a totally different perspective on love.
You did not talk about how love develops between adults (I'm specifically talking about man/woman love). In your opinion, what caused the love/bond between your wife and yourself to develop and grow?
