All You Need Is Love... to Fear

Day 7, Tuesday: The thing(s) you're most afraid of?

I find this to be such a loaded question... Being a military wife I am afraid of a lot of things: deployments, terrorism, being alone. However, My greatest fear is losing my daughter. I believe this is every parent's fear. You don't fully understand love until you have a baby, not the undeniable, all consuming love that rushes in at that first sight of your perfect angel. I can barely read stories of babies whose parents harmed them, or who were killed by an unforeseen disease. It is absolutely heartbreaking, and end up in tears and the desire to hold my child that much closer...

My second greatest fear is losing my husband. He truly is my best friend. The one person who absolutely gets me. He is the most encouraging, loving, truthful, and strong person in my life. He has been there for all my craziness and troubles, and still manages to love me! Honestly, the man had to deal with so much crap from me, but still maintains that I am the best thing to ever fall into his life (more like forced my big headed self into!)

I am sure that a lot of people who are partaking in today's challenge are going to say the same thing, and for some reason this makes my heart smile. Not that people fear, but that people love so much that they fear the loss of the one they love. How fantastic that even in this broken world we can love with all our being that it is what we fear most...
