Live For You

There is a statement of unyielding commitment that goes "I would die for you." But I propose there are times where it is more difficult to say, "I would LIVE for you."

If we are young, healthy and have life spread before us like an unblemished cloak stretching to the distant horizon, the concept of ending life is frightening; the sacrifice of one's life is great.



But if we are feeling the effects of illness, age, disability, acute pain, severe depression, or face a future with a long struggle, pain or horrors that rear large in our fear, death can be a friend and release from the suffering in life. Some are given that while others are called to continue to struggle with the hardships of this life.


It is in those times when it takes a great deal of love, commitment and courage to say, "I will LIVE for you."



The easy path can be presented in a number of ways. But there exists a wondrous strength within those who have decided to continue to struggle, to fight no matter what mountain (s)he must climb.

You can see it in their eyes; a part of their soul.
