Hiding

Why do you hide from me - have I failed to let you know that my love for you is unconditional. It's the model of how God loves us. You can never make such a mess that my love evaporates. This fact is not a license to test the theory however. In fact, hopefully, just the opposite. I love you so faithfully, that you would never want to reciprocate with a test, well, that's what I hope. I'm betting there are voices in your head, maybe voices outside of your head, broken people with families shattered that might say you can lose your mother's love. Not this mother's you can't. Oh, I can be mad, disappointed, crushed, but absent of love - it's not happening. I love you, not because of anything you do or don't do, not for what you were or are or will become. I simply love you because God placed you in my life to be loved. You are His creation - born from the deepest most pure human love on this planet. Your dad and I love each other thick. We are real and true and have always been. We are faithful without any schemes or deceit. You are the result. Three beautiful precious daughters. Blends of our worst and our best. Nothing imaginable could change that or take that away. I love you. Deeply. With a fraction of the strength, but all of the ingredients of His love for us.
