Those who love, those who live and those who sacrifice to do so. Those who do their best and are their best because no matter what, that make for a better world. Those who have found the love that can keep them together through thick and thin....who know that love is not perfect but are willing to go the distance for it. Those who love together, laugh together and who can dance together till the end and somehow make it work. Because it's worth it.....because happiness takes work and so does love. But it's work that happens with pleasure because in the end it makes you both better. Those who respect and support the person they love - because THAT is what love is about. And all the while remembering and respecting that each must be their own true self within that, because that is how we love fully, honestly and equally. Because I think two is better than one.....but what this truly comes down to is that only one and one can MAKE two!
...and the people who strive to be themselves regardless of what the rest of the world might expect, want or insist upon...here's one of my favorites who lived his life that way:
And so did Adolph - Grand Duke of Hobos!
R.I.P. 5/25/11 - 12/19/07
I only met you once Adolph, but I will always miss you!
