5. That's the thing about love...

It never really leaves you.

Today is the birthday of the love of my life, we were lovers but life happened and tore us apart in ways we couldn't imagine until it happened suddenly and decisively. I lost him completely about ten years ago. What we shared will always be part of my DNA... I imagine it is that way for anyone who has lost a love of long standing or even short. Love is love and that is what is most important in the end.

You and your new friend share a kind of love that connects you by having loved someone who has passed on yet you share both the love you had with someone in your lives as you share the memories of that love with each other because you care about how that love stays with you and wish to hold it dear while you try to carry on without the one with whom you shared the greatest love.

Glad it was a happy day for both of you! That's always a plus. (I'd love to drive that Shelby too!)
