True Love

I know, its been forever since i last posted, but here its goes

Im not one for really sappy things, but i believe in true love. Todays blog will explain that, with my cousins used as examples. 

On a note, i found out my cousin who has a terminal illness is not well, and passing away. Her husband of over 30 years has stood by her in the true sickness and or health. Since she has slowly became disabled with her illness he has been her sole care giver, helping with transfers, all meals, getting up throughout the night to reposition her. 

Now that is true love. To be there for the person you love through everything, to stand by them, and take care of them the best way you can. 

My best friends Dad loved his wife more than words can explain, and stood by her through everything until she passed away. 
Another older man i know has stood by his wife after her stroke, and helps with her care as much as he can and does so much to please her and take care of her. He has stood by her when he even said some of friends told him to put her in a home.
My Dad loves my mother so much, he has stood by her with all her mental issues, strokes, eye issues, all of it. Her brother is a piece of work, hes a handfull in his own, and people warned my dad before he married her that if you marry her you will have to deal with that brother. 

I can honestly say, where are the men from that generation now?? Men who stand by their wives??

I know it sounds rude but all these men i meet out there seem to be about wanting to get laid, and such.

So when my mother bugs me about wanting grand children and wanting me to find someone, i just get so annoyed. There is nothing i want more than to be a wife and a mother, but i am not going to make that my only goal in life, its hard when so many of the guys out there have no ambition, no drive, no gumption, i bet most would go running at the first sign things are going rough, or bad... 

So i wonder, maybe i am waiting for a man who treats a women like i have been raised to see, to have a man who stands by me through everything, who believes in me, and can stand by me even in my worst of times. That is what i am looking for....
