RECOMMENDATIONS
earth is like a tiny little drop on our tongues revealing to us a small fraction of how that perfect love tastes. John recently drove my mom and me home from Hot Springs with my mom in the passenger seat. I was sitting in the back, and she was absolutely terrified of his driving. It was so funny. I was laughing so hard. I don’t think she was scared just because he was driving fast, though. I feel it’s because she’s used to being behind the wheel. She’s had to be in the driver’s seat for us, (her children) our entire lives, and she’s not used to being in the passenger seat. She told him she was scared, and he said, “I know you’ve done it alone a long, long time, but you’re gonna have to trust me and just hand over the reins a little bit.” During these last few months of bliss for my mom, John has made her laugh,
feel safe, respected her, been honest with her, uplifted her, and walked her slowly and carefully through every step of this big, scary NEW. Loving broken humans is a tough experience the entire way through. There will be bumps in the road. There will be moments of fear for my mom in the passenger seat, but I believe the most courageous thing you can ever do in this life is to be vulnerable enough to share every part of yourself with someone, every crack and crevice, loving fully and wholly loved. We have gotten so comfortable in a generation where everyone tries to be so hard, putting up walls to keep themselves from getting hurt. I fear these people don’t realize now that hurt could lead them to uncontrollable laughter waiting for them in the end. Be brave. Love fully. Love wholly. Love unabashedly. The risk is worth it.
