What really matters...

I have had a lot of time to think these past few weeks. One thing that I keep thinking about is what actually matters. When people sometimes say things like "Love is all you need" and things similar to that, most of the time we think that they are being cliche' and we hear them but we do not really understand what it actually means. I have been thinking about all of the things that used to matter and how unimportant they really were. As a young married couple Corey and I often discussed money issues, which is a common topic I am sure. It just upsets me that we wasted time worrying about that. In the grand scheme of things, as cliche as it sounds, I would much rather live in a cardboard box with Corey than in a mansion without him any day. I would take on the National Debt to have him back because I know that together we could have made it through anything. Another thing is some things I would get upset about. Nothing big, just small things that I would criticize that I am positive every wife does and gosh, I wish I would have just not been bothered by any of it. I had him. That made me the luckiest girl in the world and I honestly did not even know it. I often told him that I felt like the luckiest girl in the world but I did not know that I actually was while I had him. That's what really matters. I did not get off of the sofa to tell him bye the morning he left for work and never came home. He came to me and kissed me and told me bye. I should have gotten off of the sofa though, and gave him a big hug and kiss, and told him how lucky I was to have him. I know that is the typical thing people think in hindsight but, I am simply writing this to say, do it. Tell them you love them every single day. Even if you sound like a broken record. God forbid anyone get dealt the horrible hand I got dealt but, in the event that anyone ever did, I can assure you that there were never enough kisses, hugs, compliments, hours spent together, or anything else like that. You will have always wished you would have done more. So, over do it. I know Corey knows I love him and knew it then but I still feel as though I could have showed him even more. People are not lying when they say love is all you need. I firmly believe that is true. Together, we could have done anything. I love you Corey.
