Love. What is love? What’s the true meaning of love? Everyone has a different opinion on what love is. I believe I think I know the true meaning on what love is.
August 14, 2015 is the day I found the true meaning of love.
First of all, it was 2:30 AM when I got a call from my daughter’s mother telling me she’s in labor. I was very excited and happy but there was a problem I was in Tijuana, Mexico and she’s in Salem, Oregon. I right away booked an airplane ticket at 3:00 in the morning and my flight was at 10:00 AM but I had to take two airplanes to Oregon.
Next, the first flight was in San Diego to San Francisco and then to Portland. I made it on time to my first flight that was heading to San Francisco. I got to San Francisco at 11:30 AM and while I was walking to my next plane heading to Portland, Oregon I got a call from my daughter’s grandma saying my daughter was born. She’s here. I stopped in the middle of the terminal balling my eyes out with tears of joy and my phone was going off I checked why it was and it was pictures of my daughter Aiyana. In my head I kept saying and repeating “She’s finally here”.
Then, an hour went by for my next flight to Portland. It was 12:30 PM and I’m getting on the plane to Portland to

I walked up to her and gently I put my daughter in my arms. I had the biggest smile on my face I ever in months possibly years. I couldn’t keep my eyes off her when the nurses will check up on her I’ll be looking at my daughter the entire time. We were at the Salem Hospital for two days but during those two days I was holding her and sleeping with her. I love my daughter Aiyana she’s my pride and joy. Till this day I’ll do anything to protect and love her. I cherish very second I’m with her. Love is about doing anything to keep the person happy, loved, and
Days later, i made my decision to fly. It was risky for me but I wanted to get there as fast as possible. I was packing my bags day after day, night after night. When everything was done and over with, I got the rest of my things and said goodbye, I’ll
The day has finally come to go on vacation. My family and I departed promptly from our house at 4:30 in the morning. Our flight was scheduled for 7 in the morning at Pittsburgh International Airport. We had to arrive their early because all people flying international had to be their two hours before the flight would leave. We boarded the flight out to Punta Cana, which is located in the Dominican Republic. I can remember that I was so excited to go, that I was the first on the flight. I am pretty sure that it took about three hours to get to the Dominican Republic from Pittsburgh. It was a really long flight to me because I could not wait to get there and I just wanted to land. Finally, the moment has come and we landed. When we departed
During the time that I got to Washington D.C I noticed how big this airport was. The D.C airport was so hug you would need to take a train to get to the other side. After exiting the plane I quickly took out my plane ticket to check what time my next flight would be. In the process of reading the paper it told me my last flight would be leaving in one hour I quickly got my belongings on hand and walked to my gate. Once arriving at my gate I realized i was 35 minutes early felt relieved. I started to feel more relaxed and sat down to rest. 10 to 20 minutes went by and the flight providers came on the intercoms and started informing the passengers who were waiting to board the plane that there was a slight delay to the flight. As the flight provider
The flight to New York was my first time flying in a plane. I was so scared at first because I have seen how big a plane was before, but I had never been in one before. That was my first time ever being that high off the ground and I had gotten to sit by the window. What made it even scarier, but after a little while I was okay after I got used to it and I was okay. The flight was 14 hours from Miami to New York. I ate pizza and I played
The airport was not very busy, due to the arrival during nighttime. A lot of stress is often involved with going to the airport because it means one must leave their friends and family behind in order to embark on their trip. The airport I departed from was, Charlotte Douglas International Airport. As soon as I arrived, I raced to the terminal, said goodbye to my family and took the flight to Dulles International Airport in Washington, DC. As I boarded the plane, I thought to myself that this was the first time in my life that was flying solo. Although it was kind of an eerie thought, I learned to cope with
Of course, I had to go through immigration, pick up my bag, and once again pass through security. Once I was in the gates, I started finding my gate, and by this time I had only 3 hours left to leave. I was desperately hungry, like if I hadn’t eaten for a long time. This was the first thing I did, eat. I waited there until it was time to board again. Like one hour before boarding, I started walking to my gate. People were all rushing, and desperately trying to go everywhere, so it took me awhile to get there. By 8:00pm, I already was inside the plane. About one-hour flight, I was so tired but refused to sleep. I watched all the people around me, and in that moment I felt so lonely in the plane because I didn’t know anybody at all. Once I got there I took a taxi, and went to my apartment where I had everything already set up since summer. I fell asleep and didn’t wake up until next
I am in the plane right now! It’s finally happening. Whooowhooo! Okay, so my day consisted of Chic Nguyen picking us up at around 2 p.m and driving us to Philadelphia. Thanks him we were able to stay on schedule. When we got to Philly, we as a whole group decided to eat at Pho Saigon. I ordered a Pho Dac Biet, which was delicious, but there were just too much to finish. After we finished, we waited patiently at Dunkin Donuts. The van picked us up at 7 p.m, I packed our things up and said my goodbyes to Mom, Andy, and Chic Nguyen. It was a good farewell, I will be seeing them again in a month anyways. During the three hour ride to John F. Kennedy International Airport I had some thoughts swarming into my brain. “Will everyone like me? How
The other day I was babysitting my three-year-old niece, a most conniving little angel. As she sat gawking at my girlfriend's brother, Matthew, who was eating potato chips, she told me that she loved me "so much." She had already devoured her potato chips, but she obviously wanted more. Many more expressions of love proceeded to drip from her lips. Finally, the question came; "Reg, can I have some more chips?" At first, I thought this little show of bribery was cute and funny, but then I started to think about the true meaning of love. What is true love? Poets, philosophers, religious leaders, and the American media all have different definitions for this word. Too often, love is conceived as doing whatever it
The day has finally come to go on vacation and my family, and I departed promptly from our house at 4:30 in the morning. Our flight was scheduled for 7 in the morning at Pittsburgh International Airport. We had to arrive there early because all people flying international had to be there two hours before the flight. All of us boarded the flight out to Punta Cana, which is located in the Dominican Republic. I can remember that I was so excited to go, and I was the first on the flight. I am almost positive that it took over three hours to get to the Dominican Republic from Pittsburgh. It was a really long flight to me because I could not wait to get there, and I just wanted to land. Finally, the moment has come, and we landed. When we departed from the plane, they had hula dancers dancing around us, and it was the coolest thing I have ever seen. They had people that would take pictures of you when you got off the plane. My family and I obliged and got our pictures taken. After all our pictures were taken, we went inside the airport and
My family and I were so excited that we didn't even sleep the night before. We spent our Thursday night watching movies and talking about what are plans were for the trip. Once the clock hit 4 o'clock in the morning , we left our house and were on our way to the airport. The airport was quiet and peaceful. I could smell the freshly brewed coffee once I set foot in the airport. We checked in, then waited patiently for our flight to board. Suddenly we heard on the overhead speaker, “Flight to New York, New York is now boarding, Flight to New York, New York now boarding.” Once we boarded the plane, we settled in and got comfy. The flight was fairly smooth with little turbulence and the sweet sound of babies crying filled my ears. Once we heard the pilot's voice telling the crew to prepare for landing, my excitement grew big.
One can love a sister, a brother, a mother, a father, grandparents, uncles and aunts, cousins and friends, strangers, pets, the sunlight on a warm evening, reflecting through a prism, held by fishing line stuck to a little suction cup to a dusty window. You can love food from cake to roast beef, even those tiny individual candy bars that are never enough but just give you a taste of chocolate before you pop in the second one. One is able to love the feeling of carpet between toes or the tension in a hammocks string when you lay in that 'u' position swinging delightfully with each motion of your body. We can declare love for sounds coming from a stereo, love for that particular sound wave in coordination with other
It was 9:00 AM on a Tuesday when I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. Yesterday afternoon my sister and I had packed everything we were going to need for our trip to Kansas City, Missouri, we were super excited about it. We were going to see our favorite band in concert for the second time that day! Once we were both wide-awake we could hardly contain our screams of excitement. We had everything planned out, the time we were going to arrive at our hotel and what we were going to do once we got there. Although, we never thought things could go so out of plan. It takes exactly 5 hours and 8 minutes from my house to Arrowhead Stadium and we left at 9:30 AM. Since the concert started at 7:00 PM we would have arrived there around 2:45 PM and
"I wanna love you and treat you right; I wanna love you every day and every night: We'll be together with a roof right over our heads; We'll share the shelter of my single bed; We'll share the same room, yeah! - for Jah provide the bread. Is this love - is this love - is this love - Is this love that I'm feelin'?"--- Bob Marley. Bob Marley wrote and sang about love just like hundreds of people before him. His idea of true love was sharing with someone in order to meet the basic needs and spiritual way of life. The security of a relationship is one important part of a complex number of needs that have to be met for truelove to exist. The Merrian Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, defines “truelove” as
To simply write a definition of love is complicated because every person has a different perception of love. The only way to capture the true meaning of love is to experience the feeling and find out for oneself, what love is. In our lives and the lives of others, love is evident. Whether it is between family, friends, or lovers, love is a precious
Love has many different meanings to different people. For a child, love is what he or she feels for his mommy and daddy. To teenage boy, love is what he should feel for his girlfriend of the moment, only because she says she loves him. But as we get older and "wiser," love becomes more and more confusing. Along with poets and philosophers, people have been trying to answer that age-old question for centuries: What is love?
