Share the wealth of Love

Never do we hear that when you fall in love you should share that love with other people. The concept of love has become, in my eyes, quite selfish these days. If you meet that special someone that you fall madly in love with, you don’t want someone else to fall in love with that person nor do you want your loved one to share a love for someone else that they have with you.

Meanwhile, I have learned to share the love in the most depressing of years. The year 2020 has been hard on everyone, depression and suicides have risen and uncalled for behaviours have arrived. The last thing we want to think about is losing the things we love by sharing them around with others. Right?

Wrong! This year if it weren’t for me falling in love and sharing that love with my loved ones, I sure wouldn’t be as happy as I am and would not of made it through this treacherous year.

It wasn't until I met my spouse that I understood how much love there is to share. I was a single mother of two daughters when I met my spouse. Him being a rough and tough 26 year old single bachelor I would of never imagined he would have any interest with shacking up with a single 27 year old mother of two... but boy was I wrong.

The relationship was like nothing I ever imagined, we just clicked, we have been inseparable for an entire year, we spent everyday of the pandemic together. It was a love I had never experienced before, until it was time to introduce him to my daughters. I was very indecisive and didn’t know how well they would take to this new man in my life. As much as I love this man, my children will forever and always be the light of my life!

I had so many thoughts and hard on myself questions:

‘Will the girls like him?’ ‘Will they love him like I do?’ ‘What if he can’t handle children?’ ‘What if this is to much for him?’

Never once did I think to myself that, ‘they are my children, what makes them happy makes me happy and what makes me happy makes them happy’

The introduction went so amazing, just like the immediate connection we had when we met. The girls were obsessed. They took onto my spouse like as he was always in our lives, the love they have for him and the love he has for them is truly inspiring.

When I asked my daughters later what they think of him and how they feel about him, instead of answering me, my oldest stated ‘well do you love him mommy?’ In my mind, well of course I do, is this a trick?? I answered my daughter, ‘yes honey, mommy very much likes him.’ Her response, ‘well then we love him too!’

To my surprise, the girls loved him not for the fact that they thought he was funny and silly and super nice, but because they saw that he made mommy super happy.

To this very day I never knew how much love you could feel just from experiencing your beloved ones falling in love with the things/people you love.

Remember to share all the love you have with everyone you love and everyone who they love! In this hectic world, we need to share the love to everyone and accept everyone for who they truly are!
