A model for Love

I grew up not knowing how to love ...

I have a family. I have a father, a mother and 2 younger brothers. But I grew up not knowing how to love.

My father adores me. Not the best one and he don't try but still he adores me. My Mum loves me. She endures a great deal of hardship for me... Perhaps it's a sin to say that but she is my God. She is the provider of all things to me... Without her, I am nothing... And I ought to praise her daily ( and I praise God daily for her). I have 2 wonderful brothers. Both quite different but lovable in their own ways. But still I grew up not knowing how to love.

I do not know if it's ok for a couple to hold hands in front of the children. I do not know if whispering sweet nothings with each other in presence of others is ok. Is kissing permitted? Should you share at least one hobby? Must you like the same food? Will having the same idol helps? Would you miss the person? Should you be independent? Dependent? What are the no-nos? What are the yes-yes? I do not know cos I grew up not knowing how to love.

My beloved Mum is divorced after 28 years of misery. Of living with a man who has opposing belief and thoughts and most importantly does not love her. And she has found or rather a good man has found her. And all a sudden I have a model for love. They are like old ( they are la) but boy does her boyfriend misses her, loves her,adores her...

I recently read an article regarding Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz's relationship. Despite their big age difference,Justin T says ' He enjoys the relationship, loves it, adores it, embraces it, praises it... Does your boyfriend do that? If not think twice...

And in another about Jet Li. Very often we asked 'How do you know he is the one?'. Mr Li has the answer! You realise, ' I put myself out there. I can give up my fame and success, give up my status, give up my money. I am even willing to die for her.' You realise this is love... So do you have love?

i am starting to believe that if you ask for love that the other will give up everything for you.
that may take some time. or it may never even happen.

i dont believe jet li.

but whatever the case. my best friend takes 5minutes of his time to take a magazine for me.
or my best friend spends 50cents of her 500allowance to buy sweets for me.

I think that's good love too :)
