5 Days To Christmas

I’ve always wanted a great love, the kind of love that grows fonder with age, like fine wine. I wanted someone who shares in all my joys; comfort me when I’m in pain; cares for me and think me precious, and love me for all my faults and strengths. I’ve always imagined being with someone who I can learn from, someone that will make me a better person because he always sees the best in people. I wanted someone that loves something because I love it, to drive like a madman so that I may get my panda fix. I wanted someone with a good heart; someone to love my family like I love my family. Someone who plays video games with my adult cousins; someone who goes to the mall with my younger cousin all afternoon to buy the teenager a Christmas present; someone who spends hours playing with my 6-year-old baby cousin, teaching her how to play chess. Someone who the 6 year-old will wait up for knowing that he’s coming to a certain family event and pokes me every 5 minutes saying, “Chris isn’t here yet! Where is he?” I’ve always wanted someone that will put his family first, someone who passed on some of the highest paying law firms in the country so that he will have time to spend with me and our future family. I’ve always wanted someone whose heart is pure and good, whose spirit and generous and true. Someone who says, “of course we’ll take care of your parents!” and someone who offers to have my grandmother live with us in the future because he loves her so. I’ve always wanted someone who, despite his great potential at future success, shares his determination with me to be humble when he makes money; someone who is already planning on spending monies that we haven’t made to specific charities, and to our parents’ retirement.

I’ve never thought that I’d be lucky enough to find that someone on my first try! I’ve heard many people say that the beginning of the relationship is always the best, but I like the present the best thus far, and I know that the best is yet to come. 5 days to Christmas and I am thankful for this great blessing in my life. I am thankful for the assurance, the comfort, and the love given to me. It is a wonderful life, and I pray to never forget that.
