loves without condition
forgives when forgiveness is required...refuses not an apology
attaches no strings
reserves judgment, assumes nothing, waits for truth
works to edify each other, does not tear down
holds no grudges
bears humility
creates safety
honors boundaries
never manipulates, intimidates
listens (even when understanding is slow)
carries each other's burdens
waits...patiently
sacrifices (even when it is painful)
does not keep score
sharpens, is willing to work things through
selflessly serves
turns the other cheek
cherishes, nourishes
withholds blame
takes ownership, where ownership is due
welcomes light in the dark-filled corners
rejoices with those who rejoice, weeps with those who weep
fosters honesty, vulnerability
values time together
creates history worth remembering
Never. Gives. Up.
