When we tell someone that we love them, do we stop to think what this powerful word truly means? 
We have children and from the moment we find out that they are expected to join us on this earth, we grow a love that is truly unconditional. We love them no matter how they come into our arms. We continue to love them unconditionally as they’re adjusting, crying, whimpering and constantly changing as the months go on. They start to grow into their personalities as they begin to walk, talk and explore. We still love them unconditionally. They’re able to form opinions, push the limits, express themselves in many forms and act out in ways to be heard and get attention. It tests, and, at times, stresses us as parents but these people we created are still loved unconditionally. Our children are becoming adults and making minor life decisions that will grow into major ones. We pray for the best but at times they learn the hard way and yet we understand that they are not perfect and we love them so unconditionally. Through the good, bad and ugly, that love never changes.
We begin to love and express this to the one that we love in many ways so they feel unconditional love. By the actions we show, the word we express and the spiritual connection that’s shared, this feeling of unconditional love continues to grow. A mistake is made, words misunderstood and this love is tested. The feeling of unconditional love takes over and we work through the issues, sticking side by side stronger than ever. In a moment of vulnerability, attention went elsewhere and a new relationship begins to form.…women, drugs, money which grew into, lies, deceit and unwanted surprises.
One of our visions begins to blur, the feeling of unconditional love begins to escape and the blur is being wiped away now knowing that this love has conditions because situations became too much to bear. One the other side, the blurred vision is nurtured, washing away fears and doubts, regaining the vision to see clearly that a true love is meant to be fought for….unconditionally.
So how is it that, many of us love conditionality although we may feel it’s unconditional until the until or what if happens. Is this intentional or not intentional? What if an unconditional love meant letting go? Is that possible or is that another condition or exception to the rule?
