No one can tell you just exactly what love feels like, it's one of those things you have to experience for yourself. It's something that you feel with your heart, with every part of you! There are different kinds of love. There's that love that you have for your parents. The love that you have for your children, which is indescribable and happens almost the instant that you find out that you're going to be a parent. There's the kind of love that is shown to you through kind acts, whether it's your best friend being there or your sister. Then there's the love that you can't explain, that is shown to you when you find that person that you are supposed to spend the rest of your life with! I have found that, and yes I have written on it before however, he is out of town and the things he says and does are just proof to let me know that he really and truly does love me and care about me.
I can tell you this, because it's what I know. I appreciate Colby more than he'll ever know because he's gone right now. I didn't realize how much he really did around here, like the dishes, the laundry, help with Brooke...and many more. I have always appreciated the things he's done for us, I guess I just never really had the time to stop and think about it or to realize it. What an amazing thing he does, every morning he gets up and goes to work at 6:45 and sometimes doesn't get home until 8:45 in the evening, but he does it for his family, us. He does it because he loves us and he likes for us to have nice things. He never complains about how hot it was or how his arms are sunburnt or how much of an ass his boss really is. He does a lot for us, and I'm forever grateful to have him in our lives. How did we get so lucky to have a great man like him, love us unconditionally. It's the little things that show you just how much someone loves you.
I have to tell you this sweet little thing. One morning as we were leaving for the sitters and work, Brooke starting freaking out..."OMG mom someone wrote on our window." I just kept telling her to calm down nothing was going on and I was positive it was just the morning dew. As I rounded the corner and took a good look at my truck I noticed there on the drivers side window it was written "I love you! Colby" How sweet I thought, I snapped a picture before driving down the road made it all run down the window like a steady stream. It was awesome. I thought to myself. I'm a spoiled girl and somedays I really don't realize it. There are some mornings when I can't even say I love you before he beats me to it as he's running out the door. I enjoy his company, his laughs, his jokes, the way he looks at me and smiles, and the way he says, "I love you." That's what I know about love. It's a mighty powerful thing.
