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.
