This week I picked topic number 3.) “It was as if an invisible thread hooked her to her boy. The thread could go taut or slack but it could never come undone, it could never reach the end of its spool because there was no end; it bound them forever.” What does unconditional love mean to you?
I picked this one because it is easy for me to write about. I placed my daughter for adoption when I was 20 so I think I definitely have a view on what unconditional love is. Unconditional love is doing something for someone else even if it is going to hurt you. I think most parents have this for their children. Even when children mess up and do something wrong. They may be mad and disappointed but in the end they still love you. I say most parents because I don’t believe that my own mother loves me unconditionally but that is another post.
Anyway back to the subject at hand. I love my daughter so much that I was willing to let her go and go to her family. It hurts but to this day I still love her. I can’t wait for when she is older and wanted to get to know me. It will feel so good to know that she can see that I made the best choice for her. I love her unconditional and nothing she could do would change that.
