"I love Love"

Tonight my daughter Danielle and I went to the Bridal shower of her Kindergarten best friend.  Danielle has six friends getting married this year, and truth be told, I always thought, she would be the first one of her friends to get married.  She had been in a serious relationship all through college and after.  Six years to be exact, and there was a time during those six years, that she was planning when she could see herself married to this man.  The relationship ended.  It was painful, she loved him.

In the three years since the breakup, she has not wanted to get back into a relationship, she was hurt deeply.  The funny thing is, is that even though she will be going to these six weddings alone (without a plus one)  she isn't the slightest bit bitter.  In fact, at the shower tonight, she turned to me with a smile on her face and stated happily, "I love LOVE"  This made me happy, because even though she was hurt deeply by the man she loved for six years, she hasn't given up on LOVE, and when each of her friends gets married she will celebrate their love and know that it's a wonderful thing to "love LOVE"

Danielle's love right now is her passion for pursuing a career in comedy, and performing.  I believe one day we may even see her on a show like Saturday Night Live, or even her own situation comedy. She is driven, and secure in who she is.  She is a talented, beautiful, and passionate young woman, and when the time is right, she will turn to me and say with a smile on her face "I love LOVE" because some very lucky man is going to win her heart, and he too is going to love LOVE, because he has the love of my wonderful daughter.

I love LOVE too Danielle, and I especially love you!
