We do lots of things for love, of course. Things to get it; things to keep it; things to celebrate it. I’m thinking here of certain things we would do, though, only for the sake of someone we love. You know, the sacrificial kind of things – like childbirth.

Or, nursery duty at church – on a weeknight – when we know the service is going to go late.

Or, that most famous of all sacrificial statements: Daring to wear a tutu at a granddaughter’s first birthday party right alongside one’s svelte daughters and daughter-in-law. I post the picture here (from a favorable angle) as proof of my undying love, and my sense of humor.
