Unconditional Love

It is so easy to say "I love you" but actually loving requires a little more effort. I have a new grandson, my only grandson actually, the son of my middle son. He is going to now experience what it really means to love. There have been so many people in my life that have come and go, many I thought or said "I love you" too, but it is just now that the full meaning of that is hitting me. If I am going to love, I have to give, completely, my heart, in such a way that it can't be taken back. If I can walk away or take back my heart, then I really didn't learn to love at all. I look at the picture of my grandson and remember when I held my own son. I would hold him and look at him, hope and dream, plan, pray... and give my heart. He still has my heart...as does his wife and their new son!
