Angels among us

There is nothing worse than living with someone who hates you.

There is nothing better than being truly loved.

Both redefine life in ways you cannot imagine unless you have experienced them first hand.

The worst relationships can drag on for years in spite of envy, jealousy, greed and just pure meanness.

The best relationships can feel surreal in a world where rational thinking, stability, and acceptance are relatively rare. 

Coming out of the dark ages into the light of someone who always goes the extra mile in both life and love takes some getting used to.  At first there is an incredulous doubt about their authenticity.  Later there is a great deal of doubt about having earned the right to be in their world.

But the truth seems to be that once you have found them they are as constant as the sun and the moon, always rising to the occasion, rewriting the old stories with bright new endings, creating new ones that are the stuff of dreams.

Perhaps these are the type of people who brought about the stories of angels among us.
