The love that was talked about in the movie just made all us cry&#8230;cause none of us were (are) getting it; romantic love, that is. Now maybe the movie may have portrayed love to be better than it really is, but honestly speaking, I seriously doubt it. Sometimes I think of lesbians and I feel like I can understand that one reason for being a lesbian is that no one can understand a woman as much as another woman can, but then, that&#8217;s not the way God intended for it to be. Adam and Eve, people. Just Adam and Eve.<\/p>\n<p>Now, what kind of love do I want? I want the Adam whose rib God has put in me. Do you get it? I mean, I want the man that completes me (and I don&#8217;t mean for that to sound like a cliche @ all but that&#8217;s how I feel). I want that man that will always be mine, no matter when, how or where. I want that man that is mine, and all mine. Mine! That&#8217;s what I want; I want <em>mine<\/em>. I need that man that is my other half in the body of a man.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, <em>Madea&#8217;s Family Reunion<\/em> is a wonderful movie, and I would recommend it to anyone; it&#8217;s a great movie, and I give Tyler Perry a standing ovation for a wonderful work done. The guy truly is Blessed. Amen to that!<\/p>\n<p>Bye 4 now, Diary.
