Love is...

...watching my husband teach my Father-in-Law how to use the computer again.

Last night after dinner, I had the privilege of witnessing another example of love I wasn't quite prepared for. I watched from across the room as my husband pulled up a second chair to his desk and spent an hour patiently teaching my father-in-law how to use the computer and navigate around the internet. Did I mention that prior to my father-in-law's stroke he worked in the computer industry as an IT technician?

It was a sight that made my heart soar. My husband, the teacher, my father-in-law, the student; an illustration of the unmistakeable love between family--MY family.

Last night, I fell in love with my husband all over again.

  5. This is so great! Seeing love in action is incredible. I felt the same from watching how my grandpa took care of my grandma when she was no longer able to take care of herself. I'm glad you get to see this for yourself :).

  10. So sweet. Love is strong. Whenever I hear my boyfriend talk to his father, it always makes me laugh. They have such a comical relationship, but a loving one. I feel so fortunate.

  13. That's awesome! My 75 year old father just recently learned how to use a computer. The only thing he knows how to do is find a movie on Netflixs. LOL That's all he really wanted to learn. He is Netflix addicted!
