My husband picked me up from work and when straight to school. I stopped by the store to pick up chocolate chips for our trip ( a couple of cookies always kept people awake on medium length trips) and then I made myself dinner and watched a movie, something I am enjoying since I am not in school right now. 
A young couple, both with completely separate backgrounds, end up falling in love. The movie is about experiencing that love in all its forms. But there was something that overcame me and reminded me of some who loves greatest of all. In the movie, the character Roger, becomes the brother to Danny, the main character. While Danny is experiencing adversity, Roger is a support. Even though it is a major trail for Danny, he expresses how much love he has for Roger and Roger reciprocates.
While watching this movie I was reminded, ever so gently, of how much I am love and how much I miss my brother. You see I don't have earthly brothers (just brothers-in-law) and so the ability to feel the love of a brother has been something I have had to work on. Whenever I am in just the right mood, I start to think about my brother I have not seen in a while. It feels ever so long ago that I saw him and how handsome and beautiful and amazing he is. But I know that I will get to see him sooner than it feels at the current time. One thing I miss most about him is the ability to feel the love he freely gives to me. The only thing that has come close to that memory, and is most similar, is the love I feel for my husband.
Love is truly a gift from above. I realized something while watching this movie: Love is the ultimate gift in our lives. It is the reason we live, the reason we exist, and the reason we keep going. I am grateful to have found someone to love so much and to feel as much love from. I love my husband and every time he does something selfless, I am reminded of the love I have for him. I am so lucky to feel this love and to allow myself to feel and express it back.
