"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
This quote means more and more to me every time I read it. Maybe it's because of my son. Maybe it's because I know the feeling of true love.
Seeing a love change and crumble basically over night was the most heart wrenching experiences of my life. Trying to get it back to what it was has been the most exhausting.
It's my belief that love is love no matter who it is from real father, step father, husband, wife, best friend, cousin, whom ever it is. If that persons happiness and well being come first or you would fight tooth and nail for that person it doesn't matter.
A child is born knowing nothing but love. So, why should that change based on blood? Is blood really so important in loving a child like your own? Does that mean that the child is deserving of less love? Should a child be punished for a mothers mistake?
I don't believe that love should be based on blood and blood alone; a child is an innocent bystander in life. If love is all a child knows, or anyone else for that matter, than it doesn't matter whom that love is coming from.
"All you need is love"
You know my feelings on this one for sure. Blood means little to nothing. Love is love and that's all a child knows. Only adults get hung up on the logistics of a situation and tend to miss out on opportunities because of it.
