What is love? ( in the words of Janine...)

To me love means sacrifice - It means being willing to set aside your own goals for someone else... It means taking time to truly understand the individual that you love... For my daughters it means loving unconditionally - something that I never thought was possible until Taylor was born... Its having your heart broken and then mended time and time again... It means to forgive and move on - not dwell on the past... It means with every goodbye there is a hello around the corner... it means going to bed happy and at peace, not angry... It means when I say always and forever that I mean it and will forever love you.

I am blessed to be married to an amazing man who time and time again has shown me what true love is - he has been by myside when others would have walked away... that is true love. <3

I am blessed to have two beautiful daughters and one day I am sure they will use the words I hate you ... but in my heart I will know that it is just a phase and just like I did when I was that age we all will move forward.

Love makes me strive to do things that I never thought I could... So here is to yet another day full of sappy cards and flowers that die and oversize teddy bears and lets not forget the candy... Its one day out of the year that you should also be the other 364 days... so for now I am cherishing the fact that I get years and years of love not just one day - however I am thankful that I dont have to worry about who my valentine is going to be ... I have the greatest of them all :)
