I have discovered something. Love does what is right. They say you have to love yourself before you can love others. In order to do that you have to treat yourself as you would treat others you love. If you really love yourself, would you give yourself another chance. You would give yourself a chance to learn, grow and change to make yourself better. You will learn and forgive. So in that spirit, I will love my husband as much as I love myself. He screwed up bad. He hurt me beyond hurt. But I love him and love does the right thing. He needs to know and experience this kind of love. I will be his cheer leader as long as he moves forward and continues to grow in love. If not me, then who? I have him for a reason. He named me Valkyris for a reason. He said I was the one who would rescue him. I have been charged with this task before I even knew what the task was. I will accept this task. I will accept the spirit the task involves. I can only hope we both grow as we are meant to grow. onward and upward.
I am waking up from my long slumber and am taking the time to notice all things, and to get the good person inside of me to come forward again. I love you, and you have shown me what true love is. Not always pleasant but doing what is right, and giving what is needed instead of what one wants. Tough love is as important as the softer kinds as well. I love you too, my Val.
