"So it's not gonna be easy. It's going to be really hard; we're gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me... everyday."
-The Notebook
Today I had the cutest little old lady came into the salon wanting me to do her hair. She brought her husband, and he waited patiently for her in the waiting lounge. She kept glancing over at him with the biggest smile and her eyes just seemed to light up. She saw me look over at him a few times and she finally grabbed my arm, pulled me in front of her and said, "You see that man over there?" I said, "yes, who is he?" Her sweet reply was, "That's my Prince Charming." She was probably 85 years old and still head over heels in love with the man she married 65 years ago. I couldn't help but tear up a little because of how sweet their romance was.
She continued to tell me that he has been by her side through infertility, the miracle of having their one and only child, cancer, and little tiffs and quarrels along the way. She gave me a lesson not only on how to style her hair, but how to have a love that lasts forever. She told me that being in love is hard and is a constant gamble, but so worth it!
It is my only hope that someday I'll be able to smile the same way at my Prince Charming with such fond, sweet memories.
Happy February, Love is in the air! Soak it all up!
