Unconditional Love

The definition of unconditional love is: to love without conditions. Love without conditions is a very hard thing to learn, accept and adapt too. Loving someone is easy, loving them unconditionally is a challenge for most people. I’m not going to lie, it was a challenge for me.

When I met Joe, I wasn’t really sure about him. He was nice, good looking but I just didn’t know if I was ready to commit to having a boyfriend. The last boyfriend was out sowing his seeds and left a hole in my heart that I didn’t think anyone could fill. It took awhile but I started to have feelings for him, I started to let the wall down. He made me laugh, he called me beautiful, he made me feel good and I was falling in love with him and I didn’t even realize what was happening.

We dated for a few and I ended up pregnant with our daughter. At this point, I still wasn’t sure if I wanted to be with him. I had a choice to make and so did Joe. Well, obviously we made the right choice and here we are thirty some years later and still together. It wasn’t always easy, we had our ups and downs but we persevered.

As the years went on, we weren’t by far the perfect couple. At one point I was ready to leave, I’m glad I didn’t. I’m glad I stayed and worked on our marriage. I have learned to love my husband unconditionally. I wouldn’t change anything about our life. Everything we have went through has made us stronger and more in love than ever before.

Learning to love unconditionally is always a work in progress. You must love without expectation, love with all your heart and soul, always be willing to give up, go without, do whatever it takes, and never think twice or complain about doing any of this for your loved ones. I’ve tried my best to love UNCONDITIONALLY and I hope my husband, kids and grandkids know that I would do anything in the world for them without conditions. I truly love them UNCONDITIONALLY.
