LOVE at first sight......!?

ellechor @ellechor (23) • Philippines 2 Mar 07

Do you believe in LOVE at first sight? Do you agree or not? I never think that in seeing guy for the first time around you feel love. What kind of love is this? Is this only a habit? Tell me?

emotions

PenandQuill Yes! I absolutely do believe in love at first sight! I was bitten by the love bug the second our eyes met and I fell like a ton of bricks when my husband and I met. More than 25 years, three children and three (soon to be four) grandchildren later we still...

PenandQuill This is not a result of bad parenting but the pure innocence and honesty of children. Your daughter saw the color difference but at her age and for her colors are still what comes in the crayola box - this wasn't kiddy racism and like your daughter who walked...
