To be Loved

Tonight was a rare occasion, I watched a movie.  I actually sat down alone on the couch at 7:30 PM, both little ones soundly asleep, and I watched an entire movie start to finish.  WOW!  This does not even happen when my husband is home, yet alone when he is away.  Of course my pick was a sappy love story ending in tears for the actors and myself.  How is it that a love story can make you fall in love all over again every single time?  I walked away from the television day dreaming of my love and longing for his return and the safety of his arms.  The need to be loved and to love is eternally within us.  I love and I am loved.  This is a blessing and a joy.  It does not matter that my husband is across the world and I have not seen him in six months, he loves me.  He loves me, he loves me, he loves and it makes me want to sing!
