Love is a verb

-
This morning on my drive to work I listened to the DC Talk album "Free at Last" from 1992.  It was a fun throwback that had me rapping and bopping all the way to the office.  The song that really made me think was "Luv is a verb".  If you haven't heard it, it's worth pulling up on the internet with its lyrics.

The song got me to thinking...I know I love my wife, my daughters, my family, etc.  Most often I will even verbalize it.  But, do I act on those feelings and choices?  Do I make a conscious effort to "show" my love in a way that is meaningful to them?

I encourage all of us, to make time to say the words but to also show our loved ones how much they mean to us.  Life is short and none of us are promised tomorrow.  And after all, "love is a word that requires some action".

It's been a while since I've written, and a lot has happened.  I've been at Lockton for four months and feel like I am just starting to settle in.  My oldest daughter and son-in-law graduated from William Jewell with their bachelor's degrees.  Both were accepted to Yale for grad school starting in the fall, EmmaRae with a full ride plus stipend; yes, I'm proud and thrilled.  We went on a two week vacation to California, where we saw the giant sequoias, and Napa Valley wine country.  And this week, on Wednesday, June 26, 2019, at 5:41am, my Dad passed away after fighting cancer for more than a year. I've written about my Dad before: about how positive he had been through his fight with cancer.  And I can honestly say that even up to his end here on earth, he remained positive.  I asked him, as he was lying in a hospital bed wasting away physically, why he was so positive...his answer was the same, "it is what it is", and "being upset or negative

After much back and forth, my wife and I have finally decided on our travel plans.  Instead of 30 days in one place, we will break up our travels between two countries and a home improvement project.  One week in Cabo San Lucas beginning the day after I'm laid off and two weeks in Costa Rica in January.  Between trips, we will be remodeling our master bathroom as well. I'm looking forward to time with my wife, to traveling and making memories, and to some manual labor in my bathroom as we tear everything out and start over with tile, etc. Soon I'll have an announcement about what I'll be doing in 2019.  In the meantime, here's to time away! Best to you all! Doug and Stacey
