The Gift of a Lifetime

(Dedicated to Wonder Woman) Love, love, love, what is love? This is how I would describe love When we feel it for the absolute very first time It's like nothing we've ever felt before We start doing irrational things We feel like we're walking three feet off the ground We see beautiful flowers where none exist We feel warm on the coldest of winter days Nothing and no one can bring down our mood It's the happiest most exciting time of our life Feeling the love of another person ranks up there As one of the greatest thrills one can ever experience Compared to love, all else pales, Love wins hands down It's what we live for, why we exist The moon above in a sea of twinkling stars Would rank second to this treasure of treasures When that one person comes along, no one need tell us We know immediately! Eternal love... the gift of a lifetime! © Jack Ellison 2014

Hubby has now banned us from going to the store without him. But it taught Dragon we can make a difference with little Christmas miracles... Er... Big ones as they're getting as big as whales... We may need a bigger tank soon... LOL... And we have trouble getting Hubby away from the fish ornaments... who would have known...

Yeah... That's how Hubby and I feel about our boys, Dragon, and the rest... Who would have known? The more you give you're heart away. The more it wants to grow! Dragon and Grandpa Troll helped me get my BIG dog food bags at the store. Dragon discovered the fish section. They were selling some baby goldfish for 15cents to be fed to others! Say it isn't so!!! We decided to save 2 little lives. Then we worried about the others and went back to save 2 more. And the heart grows bigger...
