L-O-V-E
It's Valentines day and I feel obligated to write a little something about love. Not a warm and fuzzy love post but a real post from my life.
Chris and I were enjoying a typical Sunday morning. A trip to the local bagel shop in the morning where we discussed our plans for the day and shared our excitement about the Hockey game we were going to that afternoon. I told Chris I wanted to clean out Harper's closet today and asked him to watch her so I could get it done quickly. An hour into the project and Harper's room looks like a tornado came through it. Chris walks in ready to give Harper a breathing treatment. We discuss the closet and Chris proceeds to give me what he calls "advice". I perceive this more of a critique of my work. His comments act as the spark to ignite an all out argument between the two of us. All I can say is it was brutal. We both got some things off our chest that had been bothering us for a while. I knew we were having some trouble communicating lately but just didn't expect the eruption to happen right there in my sweet baby girls bedroom. It was a big fight. One that I will remember for a long time and it all ended with Chris walking out of the room and both of us taking a little time to cool off.
I know this post is about L-O-V-E. So where is the love in this story? No worries it's just around the corner.
After about half an hour later Chris and I are able to talk in a calm voice. We both apologized for some of the words we used and the things we said. We also acknowledge that we needed to get those feelings out and decided to do something about it. We came up with a plan and committed to hold each other accountable to this plan. It requires both of us to make some changes and do some things that we may not like. All in all it's about getting back down to the core of what makes our family happy.
So there it is LOVE. You see love is not always about red roses, candy, and things that sparkle. LOVE is sometimes hard and sometimes it sneaks up on you in a not so pretty way. It is about loving someone so deeply that sometimes it hurts. It's about forgiveness and understanding. It's about putting your partners needs before yours. It's all about communication. Something the Miazga's really need to work on.
Yesterday I cleaned out two closets. Harper's closet and my marriage closet. Not sure which one was more difficult to do but I know they were both done for the sake of L-O-V-E. Ten years ago today Chris Miazga asked me to be his wife. We made a commitment to each other that will last a lifetime through good times and bad. Thankfully we see more sunshine then rain in our relationship but I'm sure happy to know that we have what we need to make it through the rain when we need to. I'm still in LOVE!
