we are sure to find.

I feel like there are certain times in your life when you witness something extraordinary. It can be on any level, but I witnessed a big one today. Love. I love my friends, I love my phone, I love the mountains, I love garden gnomes, but this love was not even comparable. The kind of forever and undying love.
My sister left for Oklahoma today. She will only be a gone a week, but that is a lot. She hasn't been away from her fiance, JJ, for more than a day at a time. It was kind of sobering as she packed and we thought about what they will do without each other, if only for a week.
As she backed out, I stood in the driveway with JJ waving goodbye. My sister smiled up at him and yelled from the street, saying she loved him forever. As she drove away, JJ looked at me and said he would really miss her. He was crying.

It really was one of those extraordinary moments. To witness that real, undeniable love that people share. I love to see it within my family, because it is always there.
