I am often judged by my past. Right or wrong, it is how most people see me. Not for who I am, but for I was. You were more kind. But, I am still judged by my past, and by your past. I hope someday you can judge me based on my interactions with you.
Have you ever been really angry with one of your children? So upset that you had to take a time out to cool off? And still, you know your love for your child is unwavering. That is true love. I would have been there for you anytime you ask. Even if I am angry, feeling hurt, or upset – it doesn’t mean I don’t love you.
Sometimes, we need to measure love for someone by how we feel without them rather than how we feel with them.
