Dad’s Requited Love
Feb 23, 2017 · 1 min read
Have you ever been overwhelmed by love? Taken aback by love? Have you ever experienced a type of love that stops you in your tracks?
Do you start to feel guilty wondering how on earth you deserved it?
That’s how I feel every time I get a text, phone call, or hug from my Dad.
He trusts me to find my own way.
Through him, I’ve realized that although we are imperfect beings, unconditional love is so perfect that as Maya Angelou said “the heart falters in its labor and the body is quieted into awe.”
This most overwhelming part of my Dad’s love is how little it costs. It didn’t cost success or accomplishments or a commitment to perfection. I know that regardless of who I am, have been or will be my dad’s love for me exists simply because I was born.
