Where Did The Title Come From?

Many years ago (actually almost 32), Mike and I heard or read something about if you sentence someone to prison for "Life and a Day", they could never get out, never get paroled.  This was many years before he was in law enforcement.

Well, we thought we would do a twist on that - Love, Forever and a Day.  Same basic meaning but with a good twist - love would win out.  We would love each other forever and never forsake each other.  We say this to each other daily, we let the boys know that we will love them forever and a day.  Now we are seeing this passed down to the next generation of Cross' - as the boys tell the girls this.

It is a small thing to do - to let the one you are with know you love them.  It is a big thing to do to let the one you are with know that you are in this no matter what happens.  Does this mean life has been all rosie and smooth sailing?  Not one bit.  Does this mean that we work with each other and try to figure it out?  Absolutely.

I have learned a lot over the years - that no matter what people tell you, love is not easy.  It is something you have to work at everyday of your life.  I have learned that you can love and not like - someone or something.  I have learned as a wife that having a husband you love is one of the best feelings in the world.  I have learned that as a mom you can love abundantly no matter what and you never run out of room - your heart just keeps opening up for more and more love - to give and share.

I want my boys and their future wives to know that love can be forever and a day.  You just have to take it a day at a time and figure out what works for you.

Love, 4-ever and a day

And I know there is nothing

That I would not do for you, forever will be true

And I know although times can be hard

We will see it through, I’m forever in love with you.
