Have you during this celebration of love, thought of your first love. It was of course possiblely your significant parent. In my case that was my mom. It doesn't have anything to do with the sex that the person was. It had to do with you, in the human form, that you started feeling something terrific, towards someone else in the same form.
I want to come out and say "Everyone" look back at those times and keep them, some way!
I am going to share a bit of mine, right now.
I believe, we think that they are here forever. Invincible!!! They aren't. So, if you want to know stories, of their time here, ask them!!
I did some of that. What I did not do is take time with my mom near the end of her time here. I feared the loss. So, I took myself from time with her, so an emotional part of me, I guess, could be protected.
My mom became disabled at the age I am. So, knowing that, " moments" have turned more significant, in a way, for me. I was closest to my youngest Grand Daughters age, when that happened so I have some understanding of why it was difficult. At that age you are entering one of the the greatest life experiencing times, Adulthood.
Seeing the age I was and relating to this story of my life, has given me a different relevance, ( to people and ages), if that makes sense.
See, my Mom had me close to the age my oldest daughter is. My mom had me at 43.
So, ask stories of a adult figure, in your life. Or as I heard the other day people are doing more of this with people, in general. Learn what you can, see what could be important to some experiences of yours. Appreciate the experiences that they saw.
Hold "LOVE" tight, always, not just on a specific day. "Peace, hope, love....all..".........
