This My Friends, Is Love.

This My Friends, Is Love.

I swore I would never do it. I would never be the stay-at-home mama who scheduled her days around The View at 10 a.m. & Oprah at 3 p.m. And I am not….
But I do sometimes speed home just a wee bit to catch the opening moments of The View.
&
I do have to admit I TIVO Oprah every day…it is the FINAL season and all ๐Ÿ™‚
SO the things I SWORE I wouldn’t do. I have succumbed to….Just a weeeeee bit….
In catching up on Oprah’s visit to Australia, I was overcome with emotion. Literal tears streaming down my face during a particular segment.
The story is incredibly moving. I won’t tell the story as well as this.
Here is the Haley version. A darling family man finds out he has cancer. Young guy, beautiful wife, two boys. Wife has to go back to work full time to support family. Hubby barely hangs on, wife is exhausted, no time to spend together as family. Oprah (of course) comes into save the day and gives them $250,000 for the next year to pay the bills & spend time together. (He is still alive).
THE MOST moving part of the whole story is this video he creates for his wife on her birthday to tell her how much he loves her & appreciates her.
THIS IS LOVE.
Beautiful, sacrificial, I wanna LOVE like this kinda LOVE…
P.S. Here is their family Blog. Yet to really read it-but looking forward to following this family.
