When our four children were very young and developing into people rather than babies, my love for them was unconditional. As they became adults and established their own path in life I still love them deeply, but it is less unconditional. I don't always agree with their decisions or opionions, but I love them just the same. In this world where the family unit has a become something that I struggle to understand, I'm pleased that we hold fast to our family bonds. I can never have x-children nor can they have an x-father. We are one and will always be. What I am most pleased with is that we never leave each other's presence without saying 'I love you' and sharing a hug.
