The Look of Love!

I need to journal this for myself, I give anyone reading this fair warning that it is sappy and speculative! Yesterday I was joking around with Jessica in the family room and looked up at Ken sitting at the table staring at me. His face was, I don't know... peaceful maybe, and he had this smile... it wasn't a typical smile. He had this same look a couple weeks ago when he was listening to me talk when I asked him, "Why are you looking at me that way?" He responded, "Your beautiful, I love you.... WHAT?"

So... I was at our Youth Bishop Discussion (AKA Fireside) last night when the Bishop asked me to talk about the qualities that attracted me to Ken. When I sat down I found myself pondering this "look" he'd given me and realized that it was the kind of look I've seen little old men give their wives as they watch them!

So... is this the look of love or exhaustion? Because with a brief stare I felt so warm and cared for... no words, just a look?

It's the same, love and exhaustion. It's the same look you get in the beginning out of love. They don't know the exhausting part yet. Then you go the rounds for thirty years of the exhausting work. Every so often you get to remember the "love stare" and then when you are finally old and you get the look again, it's because you realized you've been able to love that person throughout all of the exhaustion. And that my friend, is true love grown old together. What more could you want?!
