My sister Hazel is a very brave lady. She knows about the power of love.  A few years ago she was nursing her sick son.  She remained a rock to her family even though she was falling apart inside herself.  She learned how to care for him in the hospital ward and watched as he was slowly slipping away but she never cried in front of him.  When she lost her beloved son she didn’t sit and bemoan her loss, yes she greaved for him, but she turned his life into a cause of celebration.  She took what she learned and she put it to good use she became a nurse working at the hospital where Jay passed away, looking after the other children that needed to be cared for.  She can give courage and inspiration to the parents and the children because she had once been in the same place as they are now. I am very proud of my sister and I know that because of the legacy of a very special little boy the world the world is a better place.

I remember the day that your mother gave birth to the most beautiful boy put on this earth

You bought  laughter and joy and smiles to our days with the things that you said and your funny ways.

You cared nothing for money or objects of wealth, you always put others before yourself.

You were loved and adored by all who met you a living example of all we should do.

Jay we miss you we always will and you can be sure in our hearts you remain still.

We will always remember Jamie Bird the bravest boys name we have ever heard.

Love is the most widely used word in any language. It can be used in so many contexts.  ”I love You”  ”I love this dress” I love fishing” I love to dance” “thank you love”  Saying the word love can both help build a relationship and destroy a persons confidence.  If it is used wisely it can enhance your life but if it is used unwisely it can lead to destruction.  The love of power for instance is not a good emotion.  The love of people however is a good emotion. We should all think before we use the word love whether it is the truth or just a fleeting emotion because someone has done us a favour.

What is the longest word in the dictionary?   smiles because it has a mile between the first and last letter.

To be loved is wonderful but give love is devine.

************************************************

Do not measure love by what you get but by what you give.

*******************************************************

Love can bring pain as well as laughter.  It can bring tears as well as joy.  It can be the most beautiful thing in the whole wide world or it can seem like the biggest curse.  When love blooms it is wonderful but when it dies a part  of us dies with it.  The world indeed would be a better place if we paid more attention to loving each other that to hating each other.  A simple smile can travel the length of the country.  You smile at someone and they smile back and they will smile at the next person they meet and so on and so on.

I bargained with life for a penny and life would pay no more,

However I begged at evening when I counted my scanty store.

For life is just and employer, he gives you what you ask

But once you have set the wages, why you must bear the task.

I worked for a menial hire, only to learn dismayed,

That any wages I asked of life, life would have willingly paid.

My father taught me a lot about love.  He taught me that love means having genuine concern for the other person whether it be, you mother and father, your children, your brother or sister or just the old lady down the street.  He treated everyone he met with respect.  He used to tell me “If you can’t do someone a good turn never do them a bad one.”  He also told me “Never let the sun go down on an arguament.”  He was not embarrassed about showing his love in public. He devoted his life to making sure that his wife and children (and there were six of us) knew without doubt that we were loved and appreciated.  He also told me that “love is the one thing you can give that costs nothing just a little effort.” I hope that I have lived up to my fathers expectations.

1You should never say “I love you” unless you really are sure that you mean it.  All too often people say “I love you” just because they think it’s what their partner wants to hear.

2Love should be given freely not forced. It  is not love when you do not care about your partners feelings.  True love means acceptance of each others faults as well as their good points.

3Love means supporting each other through the bad times as well as through the good times.

4Love is not comparing each other with a past partner but understanding that we all have different qualities to give.

5Love is not taking each other for granted but working on the relationship.

One day she came into my life and set my heart on fire

Her name was simply Sarah Jayne, and she became my hearts desire.

I love her oh so very much she is my guiding light

I worship her with all that I am every day and night

She became my saviour, the one that I adore

Every time I think of her I love her more and more

She doesn’t see my failures she takes me as I am

To Sarah Jayne I’m simply her silly billy gran.

Over the next few weeks I will be talking about how love really does make the world go round.  About how to get focused into getting more out of your life.  About how to put a bad relationship behind you and move forward.  It’s so easy to fall in love but when that love ends it can hurt like hell and you think yo will nevetr get over it.  How many times has it happened before and yet you do manage to get over it.  Maybe it’s just that this time you don’t want to get over it but instead want to get back the love you have lost if you look in the blogroll you will find several ways that you can regain your lost love and again feel that love makes the world go round.
