Where I learned what Love is

My parents
They were the first ones to love me unconditionally. They had accepted me before I was even born. It didn’t matter what I looked like, they would think I was beautiful. They would always be there for me when I cried and they would forever hold me and let me cry. They would forgive me when I did something wrong. They always encouraged me in what I loved. They taught me to be a good person but never tried to change me. They would be there for me though thick and thin and would never stop loving me.
I also learned a lot about relationships from them. They lived by their wedding vows, through sickness and in health, through richer and poorer, and so on… until death do you part and they had stuck through it and had a hard great relationship, they were each others best friend and they were married for 24years and it would have been 31 but he passed away 7years ago. But I always strive for the type of relationship they had.

God and Jesus
Raised as a Christian I was taught the ways of God and Jesus. He is my Lord and Savior. From him I learned not to see people as a color and to not discriminate against someone just because they are different. So I do not judge people based on their outward appearance and I do not discriminate against someone who is different then me, I am not the one to judge and I will not be the one to judge.

Cats/Pets
Being raised with cats and pets I have also learned to love like they do. They love you unconditionally; the bond they build with an owner is lasting and real. They love you for who you are and do not try to change you. To them it does not matter what you look like or how you dress, as long as you are by their side and feed them they will be there for you. They don't care if you are rich or poor, they will stick by your side. They always treat you the same. They don’t hang on to resentment and they always forgive you time and time again. They sense when you are down and try to cheer you up. They like to keep things light and know that play is important. Humans should strive to copy pets on what a person has to other (love, kindness and warmth). Pets do things we should do more often.

For all of these have taught me that real love comes from within. That they are there for you through thick and thin and would never give hope hope on you and will always love you unconditionally no matter what and that is what I strive to do also.
