LOVE MEANS being part of something bigger than myself.

It is something that reorientates the way I live my life; from the way I spend my time to my priorities.

Love means getting up in the middle of the night to change dirty nappies.

But I guess it is also about being vulnerable to the point where someone else’s wellbeing and happiness somehow gets tied up into your own.

It is a wonderful thing but it is pretty scary as well.
