Two Arms to Hold Me Tight

Two arms to hold me tight, reminds me of a country song. It plays over and over in my head. Can't get it to disappear. Have you ever been in love, really in love. The kind that takes your breath away, your heart skips a beat when the other person walks into the room and your sad when you don't see them for a day. The kind of love that consumes your life. You practice your names together on paper, write your initials and dream of life as one. A love that is everlasting, that survives the daily frustrations of life, financial hardships, loss of jobs, illness, children growing up, empty nest syndrome, picking on one another, the day to day wear on a relationship.

A love that transcends time, the kinda of love that never lets you see the age, weight and changes in the other, you only see the person you fell in love with twenty plus years ago. The love that knows only forgiveness and charity for weakness and failure.

A love that can only be compared to in my mind as a love that my FATHER in Heaven has for me. I know that HIS love in unmeasurable, uncomparable to anything that I have ever known because I have known a love like no other.

D and I did not have a perfect marriage by any stretch of the imagination, but by reality we had a great marriage. Over the years we had a marriage built on GOD who took us thru the hardships, loss, difficulties, joy, happiness, pleasure, and so many wonderful blessings. We learned to put each others needs before our own. We learned the physicial needs of a marriage remain as important in the 28th year as they were in the first year. We cared for the beauty of our marriage by openly talking about what the other was going thru daily. We learned to listen to each other, we were and still are best friends.

D and I held each other everyday, even when the cancer was attacking his body I would lay beside him and wrap his arms around me so we could hug each other. Ours was a perfect fit, I long for those two arms to hold me tight, to listen to that heartbeat, to gaze into those eyes and say I love you.

If you have a someone special, take time to wrap your arms around that person everyday, hold them tight and together praise GOD for the blessings of each other. There is nothing more important, nothing more beautiful that the few seconds it takes to give GOD the glory for those two arms that hold your tight.
