A Little Universe

Today is Mama and Papa's anniversary.

When I think about maturity, I think about my parents. Love, I have learned, have no prerequisites. It just happen. It is given. It is received. It is appreciated. One does not necessarily reciprocate the same kind of love but one can always appreciate love. 

Picture really is worth a thousand words. Though I have a lot to say about Mama and Papa, I can never coin the right words to express my love and gratitude enough. There is just one thing for sure: they make me happy. Very happy. This picture, to me, describes everything about them.

I feel lucky. To still have them with me. I feel lucky. To be loved and be able to love. I have found happiness and gratitude in love and I have learned to love love itself. Count your blessings like you count your days and be thankful.
