My best friend gave me a pair of earrings a few years back, a simple design, embossed with what has to be the single most important word in any language.
I wore them almost every day.
Until I lost one of them.
I looked everywhere, scouring our home, the floor of my car, the post office, the driveway, the General Store, the school, our church, but it was nowhere to be found. It’s been more than three months, and yet still I held out hope, because as we all know, in the end, love will win out.
Today is the first day of spring, and the snow that has surrounded our home for the past couple of months has been melting away with the warming temperatures. Standing out on our deck, my eye caught a glint of gold. There is was.
Love is always waiting for us, even when we can’t see it.
