Love – Inside the Red Head's Head

Bloganuary writing prompt

Can you share a positive example of where you’ve felt loved?

I am not going to share too much on this topic (shockingly) but I will give a short answer.

One year ago my mother was coming to the end of her life. It was awful. She was in hospice and fighting hard for each second. The pain of knowing we were losing her and the guilt at not being able to do anything more to help her combined to pretty much crush me.

My wife was there for me. My wife was my support. My wife was my rock. My wife was my heart and soul. I have never felt more loved.

My two step kids were in Vermont through the whole ordeal, but they were there for me too. Remotely at first, but then after my mother passed away they came home and were there for me in person as well. Again, I have never felt more loved.

My wife and my step kids. My family. I would not have made it through that experience without them. I am so thankful for the love they give to me and I will never be able to show them how much they mean to me. I love them all so much I cannot put it into words. I need to do an infinitely better job showing them how much I love them and how much they mean to me. My heart aches at the thought of it.

❤️Hugs❤️ it’s hard watching your mother leave. I know it was hard for me. Like you, I too had my better half stay with me giving me the support I needed.
I’m sure your family feels the love you have for them. Just by you being there for them through any difficult times they have now, and in the future.
