Loving Well
This post is an honorarium AND a message to someone who may never read it. I guess it's up to those being honored as to whether they choose to share! The intended recepient would be a young man who has recently professed his love to a sweet, beautiful young woman and will have to maintain that love from a distance for a time. The intended honorees are the members of the family he is being initiated into during this time.
Sir, you have recently been engulfed in a family that undoubtedly makes you a bit uncomfortable. You've been welcomed in and embraced fully yet at the same time have been quizzed and warned and given stern talkings. You've been asked to share intimately with people you've known superficially for a long time. But things have changed. You've walked into the life of the youngest of this family and everyone - everyone is watching you like a hawk! True or no?! But let me tell you what you've gotten yourself into...
LOVE, Mr! Yeah - LOVE! Not just with this wonderful young woman but with her entire clan. And it's a love like none you've ever experienced. If you can allow yourself to be tossed from person to person, each with his or her unique way of getting to know you as "family", I dare say - if you can go with the flow and learn spontaneity and find comfort in that - if you can hang in there, I'm warning you, you are about to experience the wildest, craziest most awesome love! These people, different as each of them are, will love you beyond imagination, making you their own.
How do I know these things? Let me tell ya - I've been engulfed! I've seen the love these people share with one another and I've had that love poured out to me and there's nothing like it in the world. These people, dear man, are just as screwed up as any of us - but let me tell ya - they KNOW LOVE and how to express it - to one another and to those who are willing to let down their guard enough to experience it. So let down your guard and prepare to be changed - in the best of ways!
Oh yeah... and if you hurt her - I'll KILL YA! :-D
