... its a blessed thing to love and feel loved in return.

Falling in love is very real but I used to shake my head when people talked about soul mates poor deluded individuals grasping at some supernatural ideal not intended for mortals but sounded pretty in a poetry book. Then we met and everything changed the cynic has become the converted the sceptic an ardent zealot.

So its true when all is said and done grief is the price we pay for love.

... love for our neighbours does not die the minute we enter heaven it intensifies.
