"It's interesting." said my 91+ friend Bill when I walked into the dining room today. He had just hung up from a conversation with a long-time lady friend of his and Orienne's.
"What's interesting?" I asked.
With a soft content smile - he answered, "There are so many kinds of love. It's a wonderful thing."
It wasn't the answer I was expecting - not that I was necessarily expecting a certain answer. But - it was an answer that touched my heart in its deepest places. Simple but profound. True and more true.
These kinds of moments remind me just how much I love them - and am going to miss them - when they move away. It's been an honor and privilege to have had them in my life these past 10 months.
Yes, Bill - there are many kinds of love.
...and you should know because love is abundant in you....
