I am absolutely sure if every time someone gives up when they are afraid
NO one will be married.
There will not be lil kids who sooner or later grow up to worry and find their definition of life and love.
There will not be the long endless nights together with tears that are miles wide
There will not be the forsaken sense of security
There will not be that huge a plunge of emotions (:
but there and then it carries away a ton of joy, the exhilaration of emotions and best of it all, the thought of at 89, looking back at the children and grandchildren, at all the deep wrinkles and rough hands knowing we were there and we made a miracle surviving this journey TOGETHER as you hold my hand in yours.
