Sometimes we need to be reminded...

.. As well as to think about this when things seem a bit down in the dumps. I referenced it when it was first posted, but the original post has since been deleted. However, someone in the MG Community asked about it and luckily someone had kept a copy of it. And here I will help to immortalize those words. I think quite a few people were really moved by this.

"I Fall Down. You Get Up. Not A Sound Between Us.

Good love is a few months. Of bliss, of nothing wrongs, of sparkle, of tight gripping hands, of the inability to get close enough.

Bad love is a lifetime.

Bad love is the greatest test known to us. It is our most prized pain - so sought after, so hard to find. Bad love is work, giving-in, compromise, forgiveness, the unflinching support for another even at their most humiliated, their most vulnerable. Bad love is not on television, at the movies, on vacation, or at the bank. Bad love is not in the church, the temple, or under the dome. Bad love is not all around us.

Bad love is what we find when we let go enough to actually be found by someone else."
