What is Love?

What is love?

Yesterday answered the age-old question not in words but in action. 

Such joy.

I am having a hard time putting it into words, the largeness of the moment runs pass me, where tears and laughter take over.

It was extraordinary in the simplest way.

Love is funny.

Love is a contradiction as easy as it is hard,

 a completeness.

It challenges and forgives,

It pulls and let goes,

Love is many ways and one way.

Yann and I feel fortunate that Chelsea found love.

What joy it is as parents to see our child happy, that she has found, someone, to share life with and that Martin loves her in return.

 

And he is a good person (that might sound understated but I think anyone who is a parent knows what I mean.)

 

Over the years when I would see. Martin, I would thank him for loving and taking care of Chelsea.

 

Now I have another son.

What a blessing!

 


what is love

 

 

Sometimes you will lead

Sometimes he will lead.

Sometimes you will lean on him, and sometimes he will lean on you.

Sometimes you will be mad, and other times nothing will bother you.

Sometimes you will want to cry and other times there will be silence, and sometimes love will run wild, carefree and strong.

Sometimes days go by as they do and you will have to work, pay bills, and tend to your home.

And things will get in the way and distraction might interfere.

and through it all, I pray and trust love will find you again and again and again.

    Your baby just got married…that’s momentous, so many different emotions will be flowing.
    What a great looking couple you and Yann are; Vogue models!! X.

  7. Just gorgeous. Photos and words.

  8. Yann and Corey, you have been a wonderful example of the in’s and out’s, up’s and down’s of love. The photos and the post the new love of Chelsea and Martin but demonstrate a lovel of 30 years and counting, “old” love between you and Yann. The joy and love you demonstrate in these photos was inherited by Chelsea then realized in her relationship with Martin. Monday’s wedding was a culmination of sorts. A culmination of love.

  9. Congratulations to Chelsea and Martin but also to you and Yann for a job well done.

    There are only a few moments in our lives we can witness our children take a step where we can clearly see “before” and “after” defined. You have savoured this well.

  17. First off – so glad you bought that STUNNING black pants and amazing top. You look absolutely fabulous – thin, fashionable, hound and beautiful. And Yann doesn’t look bad either. Hee hee. Love is, indeed, a gift if you find the right person to share it with. So happy for Chelsea and Martin, and you and Yann, and even me and my Tom. So worth celebrating every day.

  18. Chico Sue

    Your happiness in this day are perfectly reflected in your words and pictures with Yann. It makes everyone want to participate from near and far and we celebrate this wonderful occasion and the blessings and celebrations to come.
    By the way, I see you are wearing those gorgeous pants, and off the shoulder outfit, and I can’t imagine anyone living in it any better than the happiest mother of the day. You look FABULOUS!

  19. ….tes pensées Corey, touchent mon coeur, mon âme, mon être.
    (…vivre un amour mature, je serais très reconnaissant..)
    Et, COREY tu es si belle, elegante, extravagante, joyeuse, glamoureuse et amoureuse, et vous deux ensemble, un couple irrésistible…ravissant! **
    et je présente mes félicitations à Chelsea et Martin *y*
    Chelsea et si belle belle belle!
    je ressent vivement l´amour et l´amitie, qui les réunis, quelle bonheur!
    merci pour ces magnifiques impressions!
    de tout coeur

    Beautiful words, stunning photos. The couple, the setting, the clothes!! Corey, you look so good, not only in the outfit, but also the sunglasses. The shape of them is fabulous on you. You have such a way with words and you have captured the essence of marriage in a few sentences.

  22. Kathy Barrick

    As do you! Am SO happy for you!!

  23. The pictures of you and Yann are simply the best! You two are an amazing couple and so are Chelsea and Martin! I agree that we have to keep sharing the love with our partners again and again. It is so worth it to be committed to one another and weather the ups and downs. While the downs are not our favorite, the ups are so worth it and you and Yann seem so blissful at this special time in your lives. Savor every moment…you deserve it!
    Much love to you, Chelsea, Martin, Sacha and all of your families,
    Camy and John
