on saturday, i witnessed a dear friend of mine get married. on sunday, i was at work when i saw how a husband cared for his wife in sickness & in health. nobody knows what the future entails - we all hope for a healthy body until we are old and its "okay" to fall sick. but there are many people who fall sick when they are much younger with a long way ahead of them. and the relationship changes so much because the communication changes, the way they date changes, the way they live changes as well. that is the true test of any relationship.
and as i saw how their relationship was still so loving and genuine despite everything they have been through - that really tugged at my heartstrings. will i be able to not blame anyone or anything for my circumstances? will i be able to be so patient and caring despite the difficulties? even now, i am not as patient and loving as i should be. many times i am impatient and i think about myself before thinking about him. love is not all about a bed of roses and happy times and romance - love is about seeing each other through the good and the bad times. to accept each other for the good traits as well as the flaws. to think for the other person before self. to sacrifice, to serve, to care, to share.
it might be hard but it is worth every moment.
