No regrets…Love is the legacy

Do you often think about what you should have done more of, what you should have done differently in the relationship? Grief is like that, somehow you forget what you gave to the relationship with your loved one and concentrate upon what you wish you had done more of…. 
Well, as humans we are not perfect…we will always make mistakes but the one thing that I think about - is the love that we show others. When I look back I know he knew how much I loved him, I know that…..I also know there were times that I was short tempered or awkward, but those human frailties did not define our relationship. Love did.
I feel blessed, as I have loved. Life without ever having that feeling must feel very lonely. I may not have that person in my arms now, but I do have the memories and the love in my heart.
Mother Teresa said “It’s not what you do, but how much love you put into it that matters”
I know that I lived – and still do – with an unconditional love in my heart. So, do I have any regrets ?…No, because there were times when I showed human frailty, there were times when I failed to be the perfect human being however, there was never a time when I didn’t feel and give that love…
When you look back, remember death parts the bodies but love joins the souls and forgives the occasional human frailty.
