Learning how to love better.

The death of loved ones always reminds me that I am a survivor. Reminds me to appreciate what I have. Today. And most likely tomorrow. And next week. And next month and next year. To savor it all while I can. And tonight I am savoring it by thinking of my true love. And how fortunate I am to have a love in my life. I've always had something. Or somebody. For almost 75 years now. Incredible. Just thinking of it. And life gets more astounding all the time. I don't think I appreciated it so much when I was younger. But the older I get, the more I appreciate life and love. Maybe it's because I have learned how to love. In better ways. I'm still learning. That is what keeps me going. --Jim Broede
