Tonight Elvis and I watched The Notebook. The movie was wonderful! More than wonderful.
It is what we all hope and dream for... to love and to be loved; honestly.
I won't give away the movie in the event you haven't seen it. Even if you have watched it before - watch it again. Watch it with open eyes and with someone you love.
The movie made me cry. It also made me think about life, and love. I have been lucky to share my life with Diva and Elvis. Diva will always be my daughter and there is no replacing a love for a child just as there is no substitute for real love between two hearts.
One day Diva will be grown with a family of her own, a heart-love of her own. These things I wish on her. I had never experienced unconditional love until the moment I first laid eyes on her laying there sleeping. There is no manual, and I know I have made mistakes but I try to be the best Momma to her that I know how to be.
I loved Shrugs, but it was not a complete love. I will always love her for the person he is, the father to Diva and a very close friend.
I know with my whole heart that Elvis is the one I was meant to be with. When I am presented with emotional scenarios, it is him I think about. He is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with, wherever it leads us.
