Love
Love is so complicated. There is so many types, and forms of love. The love you have for God is different from the love you have for your significant other, which is different from the love you have for your kids, which is different from the love you have for your pet. If you throw in to the mix being young and in love, way more drama. I was young once, everybody at some point hopefully has been in love. I was young too, luckily in my case I had parents who felt that I knew what I felt and if I was wrong I would always have a soft place to fall. My folks had many issues and faults in my opinion but in this case they made the right call. 28 + years and counting we are still together. He is the love of my life there has never been anyone else. We have three children together and at this point only the youngest one has been in love. Everyone except us has made such a huge ordeal about it, they have done everything to keep them apart, which is heart wrenching to watch. She is 14. I don't understand, I try I really do but all I see is two kids who really like each other and are good kids being denied the opportunity to see if they have the love, strength, and fortitude to go the distance. Maybe they do, maybe they don't, who is it to decide besides theirs. Her dad and I love her we want her to enjoy her youth and everything that entails. Young love is part of that, sometimes it involves heartbreak, sometimes you just can't prevent it. I believe that God brings people into our lives for a reason and a purpose. I know he gave me my husband because although we aren't perfect people together we are on this journey called life. He is my best friend. If my parents had tried to keep us apart, I might have been denied the best thing that ever happened to me. Right now I am watching heartbreak and nothing I can do to fix it. It's cruel and insensitive. I believe once you have teenagers you back off controlling every little thing they do and listen, guide, and if heartbreak happens you are there to pick them up dust them off and try again. You just never know. Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy of what can happen when true love is denied. They chose to die instead of being apart. It is fiction but young people are impulsive and suicide among young people is very real.
