Unconditional Love

After 4 days , MommyYo returns from LA tonight!!!! There are no words to describe how much she was missed!!!  After these 4 days, I’m a different man.

 

Before work, and before Mia woke up to serve me and Cason our daily morning beat down with a side of kicks and little baby hand slaps ….  Cason and I sat quietly on the couch watching some cartoon on the cartoon network.  Within 3 min there was a “conflict” between two characters. Shortly into this conflict the word “love” was brought up by one of these characters. BAM!....I realized more today than ever that Love is a feeling not an emotion; to which love can only than be truly unconditional.

 

Love is not meant to be emotionalized, but felt without translation; which is hard to separate, especially since we been taught this our entire lives.  After 4 days,  I can do it because both my kids are still alive!! … and I’m a better man because of it.  Watching this cartoon and thinking of the last few days, I realized Love should never get in the way of anything we say or do/want to do and so no conflict should ever arise or stem from any feeling of love; if it is truly coming from an unconditional “place”. If at any point screaming occurs or a fight erupts I know emotion has set in….

 

I love my kids and wife unconditionally otherwise all the kicking, screaming, yelling, pushing, not sharing ( and that’s just Pastina ;p)) would result in me locking my kids in a closet and me being that “screaming dad’ who drifts slowly away and OUT OF REALITY…   It’s emotion that ruin’s everything; which is why Love cannot be an emotion. The hard part is not only teaching Cason how to separate the fine line between love and emotion, without turning him into a serial killer, but to also disassociate my own involuntary human response that was laser beamed into my mind back in the Josie and the Pussy Cat days. After these last 4 days, I believe I’m on my way….

 

To love unconditionally, you have to take emotion out of the equation. How can anything so beautiful, such as love, be rooted to something as volatile as a passing emotion.  To “love unconditionally” is not just some saying you read on a tombstone or something you hear during a wedding speech- it’s a life goal that comes with practice, patience and awareness.

Welcome Home MommyYo! We miss and love you unconditionally.

"I Want to Fart on People Everywhere" LittleYO

After learning to tilt a cheek on people when they're not looking...MommyYo steps in and tries to stop this behavior.  LittleYo gets very upset. His  reply "I want to fart on people everywhere..cause its funny me". Amen, LittleYO, Amen! Its funny to me too buddy!

This video is too good not to post. How do I disagree? How do I explain that it is funny but not allowed?? How is something that is funny not allowed? Ive been trying to answer that question my entire life. Now, I could stand up for LittleYO's right to fart on people - but as you can see, MommyYO quickly recognized my internal battle on how to approach this one and knew better to take the lead. She says to me "Don't you say or do anything, I will handle this one".

This video is a moment in history that will potentially have changed the course of LittleYO's entire future. For good or for worse? We shall see...I will always look back on this post and know if LittleYO someday ends up a teacher, MommyYO is too blame. <JOKE TEACHERS> JOKE! ITS - A- JOKE!- Teachers  are Amazing!

"Do as I say and NOT as I do"

"Do as I say and NOT as I do"... its a familiar saying. I think everyone has heard it before and might have even said it! At least once. Its scary to think that this statement has some vocal force winds behind it to where people repeat it over-and-over through generations. I remember my Mom saying it and now I am!  Until now...

I remember the first time I heard my mom say to me "Do as I say, not as I do", because it took me a almost five minutes to figure out what she was talking about. Now a DaddyYO, here I am listening to another mother in the store say it to her kid just one day after I said it to LittleYo.

When did WORDS lose the power of intent? Over the generations words have slowly evolved into just words;  a vocal backtrack to human speech with no meaning. Maybe that's why I dont trust anything anyone says!  Parents (myself included) don't even realize what they are saying and teaching their kids because so much is said to them without any thought.  After all, this is how everyone learns, not just kids.  I feel as if the power of speech is becoming a lost art.

"For I have neither wit, nor words, nor worth,
Action, nor utterance, nor the power of speech,
To stir men's blood: I only speak right on... "

(Julius Caesar - Mark Anthony Speech)

Actions may speak louder than words, but words will always hold more meaning. I'm going to be more conscious of what I say not just to CookieYO and LittleYO, but to everyone in my life. I recognize and come to terms in my "old" age, no matter how hard I try and deny, we are all living by a script and follow a daily routine. Try not to get caught up in it. Stop and think before you speak!

I finally get it Dad!
