I was watching a Little House On The Prairie episode a few days ago, and a letter that Laura wrote to Mary in braille on her sixteenth birthday made me cry from it's simple but powerful words. So I wanted to share her letter with all of you. Let me know what you think. I hope it touches each of your hearts as much as it touched mine.
Dear Mary,
I know I'm not as good with words as you are, but this is something I have always wanted to tell you so the words will come now. I love you. I guess when you are kids, you just don't say stuff like that to each other. But you are sixteen now, so I can say it. You are the best sister in the whole world. I love you.
Love Laura
This small scene showed me how special those three words can be no matter the relationship. So from the moment that I seen this scene, till the day I leave this Earth I am going to take every opportunity I can to tell everyone I care about just how much I love each of them. For as Carie Bradshaw said in the last scene of Sex And The City the movie, love is a fashion that never goes out of style.
I love you all. Many happy returns to you. Good health happiness and much love.
I can't wait to read all of your responses! Peace and love to all my friends! poetry in motion
Love is a beautiful thing.
For me, my God instructs me to love one another as you love yourself - this, to me, is the
ultimate answer for mankind. Of course it is idealistic, but certainly something to strive
for. Love, in all it's forms and different contexts, is beautiful.
while love is beautiful, it is not given to any and everyone we come across.
I don't love the bank teller I see, the person who bags my groceries, or people on a website, for example.
love is something that takes time to develop, as well as effort, from all involved parties, to hold onto.
Love is an incredibly powerful word with many layers to it. Binding and comforting when used correctly; devistating when used as a tool or a means of control. And of course, the deep love you have for a spouce is far different from that which you have from a sibling (hopefully) or a friend. And even for the stranger you don't even know.
Thank you BG for so eloquently adding to my initial thought. Love in its purest form is
unconditional, not self serving and does not require one to be loved first. This does not
mean someone should allow themselves to be mistreated, but walking away from a hurtful
situation without lashing back is a good response or still offering compassion to the hurtful
person while allowing them to experience consequences for their action.. Total strangers
can love each other in a much different way than friends, family or spouses do, sometimes
love is just a simple expression of mutual respect or compassion for your fellow human
being. BG is correct, there are so many levels and layers to love, and for me, it is simply
a life attitude one should strive to have towards other people, animals, the environment
and to the value of life in general. And yes, it can be a very furtful weapon when used
against another person who is making themselves vulnerable.
Sorry if this sounds wishy washy, but if you think about it lov embodies such qualities as
selflessness and respect in all its different forms. No one can love perfectly all the time, all
I'm saying is it's a great goal to strive for.
Love is beautiful, but dangerous too. Love can blind, it can make you too happy to disregard dangerous traits in individuals, and sometimes, too easy to be manipulated.
