Love Is Us

---

This husband and I…

Missing Pumpkin…lamenting his absence…the house quiet…wish he’d saunter through that back door…

Miss his purring…his playing…that snaggle tooth he drags down the back of your leg if you don’t feed him fast enough…

Looked through photos and videos on the phone…regretting ever so slightly…taking him to get his shots…

Maybe this is why we’ve both been married three times…said that husband of mine…we can’t even keep a cat…

Meant it in jest…kind of…tried to laugh it off…kind of…but it did make an old gal think…

Is there such a thing…as caring too much…doing too much…loving…too much…as long as it doesn’t cross that line into creepy…

Maybe…maybe not…but looking back…this old gal does not regret one moment of caring…does not regret one moment of loving…regardless of the outcome…

Because love is patient…love is kind…love never fails…and it may not be for everyone…but love…is us…
​
And that husband of mine…agrees…
