Love

Dear Daughter,
Love is one of the most powerful emotions there are.   It can be passionate.  It can be deceiving.  It can be false and most importantly it can be unconditional.
When you find someone who look past your faults and not run screaming, hold on to them.  When you find someone who makes you laugh uncontrollably, your almost there.  When you find someone who sweeps you off your feet and takes your breath away then your home.  It is amazing feeling to find the one person on this Earth who "gets" you in every way you thought possible.  It doesn't happen often and I'm not saying that it only happens once but you have to have your heart open to it.
Your heart may get broken and it will hurt for a while but just remember that it is not permenant, it is a learning experience that will shape the person you become.  Never be mad at someone who breaks it off, they have just come to the realization that you are not their "forever" and that is o.k.  Look at it this way, if you are not their match then at least you will have made another friend who has made your life richer by being in it, even if it was just for a little while.
 I want you to promise that if you feel like you are going nowhere with someone then you will let them go, do not waste your time or theirs because you are both on paths to find happiness with someone that can last a lifetime.  There is no need to drag things out if there is no fire in your hearts.
I have only REALLY loved twice in my life, first to my first boyfriend whom I was with for six years, all throught high school and two years beyond.  He was probably the one I felt at "home" with.  We went through alot together and I think I will always love him.  We still keep in touch even 10 years later because there is a bond there that will never disappear.
 The second is with my husband now who swept me off my feet while I was working one day.  He has kept my life interesting to say the least.  He loves me for who I am and pushes me to be better and do things that may make me uncomfortable.  He makes me laugh.  He drives me insane but I believe if he didn't then there would be something wrong. 
My point is, love can come from any direction and if it is true and passionate then it can be the stuff legends are made of.
