"When you're in love with someone, it inspires you and gives you hope. You have faith that even if you can't be with them on earth, that if God wills, you will be with them one day in heaven." ~ Unknown

I found this quote in an article of Love Themed Sayings by a friend of mine and it was very thought provoking to me. How has the relationships around you given you hope and inspired you?

For me, my husband has inspired me to be a more beautiful person. In many, many ways. He's given me the confidence to express myself without fear.

My colleagues have inspired me to embrace a career in writing that I never would have dreamed possible just a few years ago. I never considered myself a writer and started out very small, as a forum for expression on a topic I was passionate about. Through my inspiring friends I was encouraged to branch out into other topics, subjects and forms of writing!

You?

That is lovely that you have been so inspired, and have found such progress already! That is a wonderful sign of a healthy relationship.

I like the first half of the quote, but find the second half creepy. To me it sounds like a stalker So that's my take

*laughing* That's so funny. I didn't see it that way at all. But then I grew up hearing my grandfather talk about his wife who was his one true love and how she was "just waiting to hold my hand when I get to heaven". That's what _I_ thought when I read that quote. :-)

I imagine it's all how you look at things! Maybe I'm looking at it from the standpoint of a younger person
