Who do I wait for?
Awhile back, my grandfather and I had a little chat about men. And he told me, "If a man is family-oriented, is good with his finances, and thinks the world of you --- you must never let him go."
I was reminded of him (grandpa) as I was working with this elderly lady today. It was the first time I had met her, and while I was teaching her to manage her walker, we talked about work, life, and love.
She ended up telling me how her husband had opted to have a certain operation so she wouldn't have so much trouble carrying and raising kids. She remembered how it was one of the sweetest things he ever did for her.
And with a smile she goes, "Oh I loved him to death. That is the way it should be."
I am sure she noticed the sad smile I had, for this longing I have in my heart. And she looked at me and understood without my words. Then she said, "Child, when you meet that man, he alone will be the one who deserves you and all of your love."
I thought that was the sweetest, most encouraging and gentle reminder of how I am made for better things, and how I am built for higher ground..
