Even more so, no child chooses their parents. However, we are chosen by and do choose our friends and the family we start as adults. Reading through the comments on this blog, it seems clear that a lot of people choose you. We, who have a choice in the matter, think that you are well worth caring for. And, reading about you and N, it sounds as though you've made good choices about for whom to care.<br /><br />On a lighter note, I also really like broken lovers. There was something moving about Anakin's willingness to let the galaxy burn if he could protect Padme.Kennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03199895911184527653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21582709.post-31196652107447853682011-02-20T19:35:04.714+00:002011-02-20T19:35:04.714+00:00Oh Michelle, what a beautiful post!

It clearly made you into quite strong person now though, even if you still struggle you have managed to love your husband and children. You definitely deserve to be happy and loved and I'm pretty sure that your husband believes this too. He sounds like such a wonderful guy! <br /><br /><br />I have to say that my parents were the main influence of my idea of love but in the most completely different way. I want what my parents have, you can tell just by being with my parents that they are so in love and yes they drive each other, and me, crazy, but they wouldn't have it any other way! <br /><br /><br />Thank you for an amazingly moving post and making me think about what influenced my idea of love. Thank you too for love month itself, it was such an awesome idea! <br /><br />Also I have to add... Lloyd Doubler is such a legend! :DRaimy from Readaraptor Hatchlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08060834482678440435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21582709.post-49595824628175703512011-02-20T19:10:35.828+00:002011-02-20T19:10:35.828+00:00I have to admit that mine was probably my childhoo...I have to admit that mine was probably my childhood, too. My parents marriage was terrible and then one set of grandparents fought loudly and the other set had been divorced for years and years. It sort of made for a bleak outlook...Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21582709.post-34621627120928134102011-02-20T18:17:39.239+00:002011-02-20T18:17:39.239+00:00Wonderful beautiful and sad post!
