Nothing Lasts Forever.

Why not? I understand that cars, computers, cell phones and even our bodies aren't made to last forever. But what about love? What about marriage and relationships? It's an incredibly cynical theory that plays a part in our society. When a fight is irreparable in a marriage and divorce is looming some often say, "Well I guess nothing lasts forever." It's like we need these words to comfort ourselves. They make it okay, and give us the ability to cope.

My friend Kate blogged about this subject here recently. It was kind of ironic because I was in the car this morning and and heard a song that said the very words, "nothing lasts forever." Then I see Kate's post and I too feel prompted to write on the subject.

Call me a hopeless romantic. an optimist or even stupid, but I think Maury and I will last forever. There's nothing like being certain that he and I will be sharing a room in the nursing home. We will be the crazy ones racing our wheelchairs up and down the hall at night and I can't wait. I have no problem in believing that we will last forever. There's no one I would rather be with and share my life with. He makes me laugh till it hurts and makes me a better person.

So I defy you, naysayers....and maybe even challenge you. Find your forever and hold onto it. Because forever can be for real.
