This I Believe: On Love Book

Overall i feel like This i believe on love was a really inspiring book and was a book recommended to me by my older sister whom had read it in the past and loved it. The book was over all about different stories of peoples definitions of love. Since i cant really write a response on the whole book im going to pick the most inspiring story i read in the book.

They built a family:
This chapter was about a elder man and woman named Bill, and Agnes. They were married for sixty five years and are 87 and 85 years young. They went for a walk on the same road every day and this is how their daughter Laura j.k Chamberlain described them. She described how there walk looked and sounded of green grass butterflies, the sound of birds chirping, squirrels hoping from tree to tree playing with on another. Sitting at the top of a low hill was her parents smiling and talking and some how looking as if they are on their first date. Looking as if only they are new lovers. The story of their lives are like no other simple but not. They first met at 12 and 10, she was the new girl on the block but he knew one day she would be his bride. They became lovers and then he was shipped off to war, a rocky few months on the pearl harbor. no word no way of knowing if he was in fact okay. Finally the war was over and they started there life together. They had 4 children, 11 grandchildren, and 13 great grandchildren. they lived 51 years in there family house. They will stay forever sitting by the fire watching there happy family on birthdays, holidays, or just gatherings. A look that they still look at each other with everyday as if they are still those young 12 and 10 year old. She lastly explains that her definition of love was "Love can know. I believe tender love has a power that cannot die and will somehow continue into eternity." And to me is a great way to describe live. A never ending feeling for one living the memories over and over again forever and alwys. This definition reminds me of my parents loving of each other and memorizes they share with us that feel like they will last forever. I would very much recommend this book to all who are searching for that one thing in life, that one thing they are looking for when it comes to love. The real meaning of love. I would lastly like to say thank you to Laura Chamberlain for allowing me to find my true meaning of love.
