UNCONDITIONAL LOVE…..
I was supposed to be doing something but I can’t help not having to pen down what I feel…..
My friends say I’m too much…. I don’t know what they mean…. too strict….?? too straitlaced…?? huh! Well, for those who know me, I am….. too conscious of rules, policies, standards….. well, that’s how I get discipline…. That’s how I always get back on my feet when I get sidetracked…. That’s how I get my strength…. and that’s what I teach….. What is life without setting some standards and principles, right? (Please do not place how I dress in the issue, because I dress this way for comfort and sense…hahaha)
Well, anyway, back to what I was supposed to be writing about…..writing is my other outlet when I’m down….
I remember the priest’s message three Sundays ago… it was about loving God and loving your neighbours…. Such a long explanation but what I liked about it was the part about unconditional love….
Loving a person so much it hurts…. Pretty amazing, yes!
I’ve been a witness to this:
A mother’s unconditional love to her three kids that she had withstood verbal, mental, emotional and even physical abuse from her husband to ensure that the family is intact….
A father’s love to his kids that he would rather be in a foreign place just as long as he can still be with them…..and even sacrificing his chance of happiness…..
A working mom who had to divide her time between kids and work, while hopefully waiting for her “other half” to get better…..
A sister’s love for her elder sister that she would only eat food given by someone else when her “ate” has already arrived from school…..And the elder sister also keeping mum about little sis’ mistake and owning it herself………
And a woman hiding her true feelings for a guy and prays every night that he gets all the things he wish for…….not really praying that the guy be hers…..
My former teacher and now a colleague said to me once : “with marriage, you only need love….cause with love, everything follows….” And I realized, she is talking about unconditional love……..
A love so strong, so passionate that you ache everytime you think of that person….everytime you feel the feeling…..
Oh well…..unconditional love…..i wonder………hmmmm….(sigh!) 😥
