So in love...

>> 4/1/10

Having a much better week for those who read my last post. It was comical how bad my week was. Oh well...such is life. Smile and move on right?! Getting ready for the Easter holidays. Won't be able to go home but very much looking forward to spending time with my hubby. I see a trip to the botanical gardens and English Village in our future. :)

Forgive the sober content of this post, but I found this today and couldn't resist sharing...


It makes my eyes tear up. This diary entry was all that was written by Teddy Roosevelt on the day that his first wife Alice died. She was 22 and he was only 25. She died on Feb. 14- the 4 year anniversary of their engagement announcement. His mother died the very same day in the same house. He was so distraught that he never mentioned her in public ever again. Although he did write this at a later date:

"She was beautiful in face and form, and lovelier still in spirit; As a flower she grew, and as a fair young flower she died. Her life had been always in the sunshine; there had never come to her a single sorrow; and none ever knew her who did not love and revere her for the bright, sunny temper and her saintly unselfishness. Fair, pure, and joyous as a maiden; loving , tender, and happy. As a young wife; when she had just become a mother, when her life seemed to be just begun, and when the years seemed so bright before her—then, by a strange and terrible fate, death came to her. And when my heart’s dearest died, the light went from my life forever."

So in love.
