As usual I screwed up the only thing I could give you for Valentine’s Day a love letter from me and it got lost in my attempts to email it to you this seems to be the only thing I can barely do on this day and every day I love you with what is left in me. Love, Me .
Email –
I don’t have anything these days but my feeble love that I give to you. How after all these years I still kept it alive is a mystery but what is noted just how real it is and how much it is. Through all the times good and rough you have been there for me. I surly don’t deserve it yet you carry on. I love you with all my pitiful heart can put forth. You still have my whole self. Beyond the loyalty and care you give me is an unrelenting bond that it long last…. lasts. I love you now and always for everything you are. God truly formed our union out of the world to something much more. How than I love you more than that? It will always be so Love, Me
Son while these are tumultuous and yes, lonely times and love is confusion and the light of it seems ever so dim. It never leaves us once it has entered us no matter how much pain there is so understand on this day, the love I have for you son can and will not diminish nor leave me for you. We should keep love alive no matter how much it hurts or when that hurt comes to those closest to us. No matter the loneliness, and I know you feel it, God knows your pain and perhaps He’s the only one who can take the hurt and keeps on loving us anyway. Maybe we can both be like Him with those we love and triumph over hurt and pain with forgiveness and reconciliation. Or just keep on and keep loving. Love you son as only a dad can.
May this day kindle the sometimes flicker of love deep inside and you may know that it comes from places you don’t know or understand love never leaves nor can be extinguished by the worst of times love dad
Precious daughter on this day of love, may your heart always overcome hurt and pain and know that once experienced it cannot be taken away by circumstances and that love is for you from Jesus. As well as this old and tired dad I love you with all a have. Dad
May you and Jackie enjoy the company of true love. The journey has led you both down some tumultuous paths and now you are together. What a wonderful gift. Enjoy that bond today.
Big sis through all the twists and turns of people we’ve known and loved through the years love never ends even when the flame is dim, nor never forgotten. How can I forget the love I have always had for my sis surely there is loneliness on this day for you but be assured that God love is there for you but none greater than my love for you. Be safe today and know that short of God’s love there is none greater than mine Lil brother.
You dear child have so much love and kindness that it can’t be measured in this world and only understood by the Heavenly Father. But for those of us who have journeyed with you, have been blessed with it. Be safe and know that you are loved from people and sources far from you.
I always pray this prayer for you dear heart for it has been elusive for so long maybe this will be good council from an old man who has had his heart broken many a time. It’s always worth the risk for when you finally look back the love can’t be extinguished no matter how long it is in the rear-view mirror it still endures. After three marriages I know this and now after many tries at finding it finally settled down for 22 years. But today I will send a text to all of the previous ones to let them know that love endures forever no matter the circumstances or the choices we made love is always worth the risk of heartache and the reward of success is worth it always. I wish you the best just remember, as I have not always remembered, that relationship is a three-way union you, him and God. Should it be God’s will and peace l long sought be yours.
Today I express what is and will be in my heart no matter the hurt and pain. Love endures forever and those 18 years for me cannot be extinguished by time and bad choices at least on my part. Every day the pilot light of our love never extinguished. No matter where we are life’s journey, we will always have this part to share. I kind of go into this on my blog which I’m writing these days with so much unwanted time I have since the stroke. If you are interested, it is talesfromdepressionanddealingwithit.blog. Covers a lot of years and reflections. Be safe you and your mom and all.
Dear heart on this day know that you are loved by people you have touched even in the smallest ways they mostly don’t express it but an aging old man, that be me, gets it. For it always springs up in unexpected places and many times comes from unexpected friendships. Thanks for being mine.
Valentine’s Day isn’t just for guys and gals it’s about love and nowhere can be found a more profound love than what is my heart for my precious son I love you. Dad
Just another thought from grumpy old dad. I know that your first love ended in a broken heart I know because I’ve been there many times, I knew from the very first day that the way you all played together that you had fallen in love then things change as you grow up and anger and confusion and dysfunctional things happen. I’ve been there several times a gave up a few times it’s all part of life I finally found mom and true love based on friendship and sharing the tough times. Do not be ashamed or in the name of protecting your pride or toughness be disheartened or ready to give up on love. She was a troubled kid similar to girls I loved and married two of them. God lifted me up out broken heartedness until he put me and mom together the risk of a broken heart is always well worth the effort love is always available to us. It doesn’t always come with who we may think and feeling love is part of the deal until God gets in the middle and shows you what is really supposed to be. Don’t give up on it and give thanks to those you share or shared it with you. While people and times change but love shared endures forever. Risk the broken heart and let it lead. True love is s three-way deal, You a women and Jesus. As long as you remember that it will last even longer than mom and my relationship no matter how much we get aggravated with other. You were put in our life for a special reason that God only knows but His love is contagious and here we are the 3 of us, oh and Jesus too.
I remember my first adult love at about your age she broke my heart because no matter how much I tried I couldn’t make it work. God figures this out when we let Him. Sometimes love just waits and circles around, you never know. Women are a mystery to us guys but also something we can’t live without even for a short time but don’t give up on them and let God protect your heart. We may think it will be broken forever, but it will pass, and real love will spring up again and you will be truly blessed. Just give it time and never give up or feel foolish. I love you son.
After God’s amazing creation of the universe if He didn’t think that we were worth loving no matter how much we feel unlovable, the earth would be just another rock hurling through space devoid of love or life itself. He put us here for this purpose. He is Love, and we’re not just another spec of space dust moving at high-speed trying to escape the Son (spelling intended).
