I think I know what love is now. But I’m not going to pretend to try and write it here. It’s been elusive, I think, for me. Maybe for others too. Being loved, though, hasn’t been elusive. In fact, it’s been there for a while now. And it’s something I should appreciate more.

Like most things for me, it took a moment or an event or something or other for it to all click. Gus, my son, seems to be that click. Not on day one, or day two or day ten. But one of those gradual things that you don’t really know is there til it envelopes you. It’s pretty amazing and pretty wonderful and pretty intense all at the same time. I imagine it’s different for most folks, and that’s ok. So long as you experience your version of it. Now that I’m in the midst of it, I can’t really think of life without it. Funny how you don’t maybe know you’re in the dark if that’s all you know. That is until someone opens up the shades.

Enjoy the day.
