love requires action. i love you, is not a pretty phrase strung together in a row, whispered after goodnight. i love you are three heavy words able to mend even the most broken of hearts. but love is not just words muttered or written in ink. love is not just a feeling of fluttering butterfly wings in the pit of your stomach. love is not a moment that fades with the passing breeze, love is a tattoo upon your soul marking the rare event that some seek out their entire lives for. love is putting the person that you care about above everything else. love is offering to go out of your way. love is completely selfless. love helps out with the everyday chores and errands. love brings balance to life and makes everything worth it. love does not make the path smooth, most of the time love adds plenty of bumps in the road but when the sun sets love makes it all worth the work. but goddammit love requires action. love requires you to get up and do something about it. saying i love you is meaningless if you do not know how to show it.

i will never be able to express my love and gratitude for this woman. my grandma. she has been the only constant in my life. without her i would not be the woman that i am today. she has taught me kindess, compassion, to not pass judgement on anyone regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual preferance; anything. she’s taught me how to love with my whole heart. no hesitation, no limiations. just love and buckets full of it. paint the world with love.

she randomly drops by my work on her way home from the movies, or on her way to the craft store. & she always drops off goodies. her left-over candy from the movies, dog toys for zeeke, or baked yumminess. brownies, cakes, cookies.

her heart is huge. i can only aspire to be as beautiful a person as her. i love that we share the same baby blue eyes. my grandma, my true best friend.
