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?
I intend to answer this, hunk, I just haven't had the time to sit and provide a thoughtful answer.
Just wanted to add quickly,
-I stopped to say "Hi," to a dude at the gym I met recently, and he wouldn't stop talking! He even said, "Man, I am SO sorry, I'm just talkin' your ear off!"
-I've been talking to a lot of my neighbors...a lot. This has mostly to do with helping my son ride his balance bike, which he's already starting to nail.
-A guy at Walmart glared at me while I was backing my car up (hey, it was clear when I started movin'!). When I looked at him in my side-mirror, he suddenly looked away and acted like he forgot something back at his car. Lol.
-2x hybrid kicked my ass the two days I ran it. Emotional swings and massive fatigue. Also had some gross dreams.
-I'm laughing spontaneously, like I'm care-free. I haven't felt like this since the world didn't feel like it was on my shoulders 15 or more years back.
-A woman in a dress at dinner last night opened her legs for me...constantly. Snapped a spy pic, will post at a later time.
-Ran 2x masked, and it seemed like my wife was more apt to get on my case. Not sure if a pattern is developing there.
Finally, we're scheduled to have the baby Thursday PM or Friday morning. We go into the hospital at 6 PM Thursday (central). My wife's term, baby's healthy, but with the blood pressure issues, we want to make sure we get her out before my wife's health could take a hit.
