My theme for this challenge is family and relations.
Unconditional (love) “absolute, unqualified, without any
conditions attached
This is my second attempt at this post. My original plan was to write about the
unconditional love parents have for their children. As I started writing it though I found myself
qualifying my remarks and making allowances for people who may not experience
that profound feeling of love for their newborns that I am fortunate to have
experienced. Or for those who may not
have had their children naturally, was their love for their children any less
than mine?
I continued on to how we may not always like our children
but we still love them but began to wonder again if that’s really true. Hence this second attempt at the letter U.
I started this A – Z Challenge as a way to get back into
blogging so I’m not yet into doing a great deal of research on facts and
figures to support (or contradict) my views.
I know that I do have unconditional love for my children. I would lay down my life for them. But I have been lucky. My kids are good kids. Yes I can take some credit for that, as can
their extended family, educators, friends etc.
Would I still experience this unconditional love if things
had been different? Had I not given
birth to them of if they had turned out to be troubled, difficult people? I’d like to think so but the truth is, I don’t
know.
