How Does One Come to Love?

How do I love? Openly…at least sometimes. My love for my friends is shown with communication…small gestures…a listening ear…humor and availability. Not all of my friends have realized my truth depth of love for them, but that’s okay…they are still my friends…and they seem to be okay without knowing. My family, my blood, my kids are my lifeline. Unconditional love exists for these people. I could not take love away from them if I tried because I am a part of them and they a part of me. Forever I will love, and have love for, my family.
