I see love in my parents – especially the way they related when my dad was in the hospital. It was great to see them hold hands & pray for the night before we left the hospital.

I see it in my friends marriages and in my brother & his girlfriend. I also see that love doesn't always exist & marriages breaking apart & that breaks my heart more than anything.

Where have I been? I haven't seen the movie either, but that won't be for long. Any movie about love is my favorite. Your great post has me wondering to, "Where have I seen love lately?' Not near enough I am sure. But the sweet thought that sticks out in my mind is when a little 4-year old boy walked up to me recently and said, "I like your dress."

so true. but the opening/closing scenes of love actually do make me feel very unloved when no one is there to meet me when I arrive at an airport, even though I know there'll be no one there!

I share your sentiment about airport hellos and goodbyes.

Well, I saw it in the way my friend's husband looked at his 4-month-old daughter yesterday morning. He's a super-masculine, fairly stoic guy … but you can see his tenderness for his little girl just emanate from his every gesture or glance her direction. SO sweet.

p.s. You know, I think I'm going to try to watch that movie again. My mom walked in during a rather awkward/mortifying scene near the beginning, I believe, and I'm not sure I quite recovered from her flailing of arms and exclamations of, "WHAT are you watching!?"

Well said Jeremy…..watching couples that have been together for a long time truely show me what love is all about. My grandfather has been gone for many years now but my grandmother still adores him and shows him love even if he is not on earth anymore. Great post Lindsey

I love that movie because it has love & Christmas.. and Colin! LOL. … warm, beautiful and funny. Love actually … makes us smile so much our cheeks hurt… Love stories intertwining all across the world… in hearts that recognize the beauty in each other. What a nice thought… aaahhh…

Just returned Love Actually on Netfilx – hadn't seen it since last Christmas. All of the stories are great, but the one that I had remembered most was Emma Thompson finding out about her husband's flirtations and pulling herself together for her children… Calming down, but confronting him honestly… and seeing that they stayed together without a "tada" happy ending (or a nice bow, as you put it). It was real. Love is real and most tangible when you continue to act on it at the time you least feel like it, which strangely seems to make it grow.
