To me unconditional love is love that is unconditional and cannot be destroyed. If I am honest the only people that I truly love unconditionally are my children. There is nothing that they could ever do that would cause me to love them any less. I certainly get frustrated, annoyed and angry with them, but I love them more than anything every second of every day and that will never change. I hate the words never and always, but in this situation, I have the utmost confidence that the word fits.
From the moment I knew I was pregnant with my oldest son I loved him. At the time I could not imagine loving him any more than I did at that moment. The first time I held him it grew, the first smile, the first kiss, the first I love you mommy, and as his personality grew, I loved him more and more. When I found I was pregnant with my second daughter I was very concerned, how could I possibly have enough love to share with them both? But just as with my son, it was the same with my daughter and the following two children.
I love my husband with all my heart and soul, and I cannot conceive of him doing something that would destroy that love. Odds are that he never will, but if I am honest I admit it is possible if not probable. The same holds true for family and friends although to a lesser degree.
