a very wonderful thing about love is that you can give all that you have, but still have all of it to give. i used to show this in a concrete way to my children with candles. i would give each a candle and have one of my own. i'd light mine and say that this represented all of my love. i then would light my son's candle using mine and say that this was me giving him all my love, and yet i still had all of mine (as my candle was still burning). i then did this again with my daughter's candle, showing her than even though i had given all my love to my son, i still had all my love to give to her, as well as having all my love left in myself.
it seems like such a simple thing, but it was a visual, concrete way to show what i do truly feel, that while i've all of my love to give still to a Master, i still give each of my children all of my love and always will.
as to unconditional, i will always love my children unconditionally. i may not be happy with the things that they do, but i will always love them. they are not their actions, they are who they are, my children, which is why i try to tell them that i don't like what they did, but i still love them.
the same may be said for significant others who enter one's life. while i may wish events to be other than what they may be or have been, i will always love (as opposed to being in love) many whom have been a part of my life. i try not to make that love conditional upon anything. my like may be another story. it is entirely possible to love someone but not like what they do or even them sometimes very much.
love, like those candles burning, is hard to extinguish. sometimes, the flame does go out and the wick grows cold, but far more often, the warmth from that flame is held deep inside.
