Fairy Tales
They say fairy tales aren't real.
They say that real love is hard work.
They say real life is this: arguing; complaining and just mediocrity.
They say love isn't all that and to stay single.
They say I will see one day, that I will understand one day; BUT if I'm smart, I won't marry.
Well, I say, they obviously haven't had what I have or witnessed the daily example that I have. Yes, I believe in fairy tales; in the ever after; in true love's kiss. Yet, I also believe love is hard work that's easy because it is love.
Maybe I came to these conclusions because of two people who have lived a real example of a fairy tale: my parents. If there were ever a picture perfect marriage, it's theirs. Over the years I have witnessed the fights, the tears, the laughter, the friendship, the frustration, the honesty, the respect, and the love. But, most of all, I witnessed them being real and at times humble before one another, and before my sister and I. I can not imagine having a relationship that is any less.
So, on this Valentine's Day, where love is expressed in plastic and paper, I want to thank you, Mom and Dad, for living out a real life fairy tale. Thank you, for always taking time for your marriage so, that you both could be better parents with a successful marriage with your best friend. Your story is better than any Disney fairy tale. I am just blessed to be a product of and a first hand witness to your love story.
Happy Valentine's Day!!!
Until next time, dearies!!
