Thank you all for your thoughtful answers to my previous question. In response to Jacki's question of me: I ask you these questions for a writing project I'm working on.
And now I have another question for you...
Rhetorical questions: Is it just enough to FEEL unconditional love towards another person or do you think such love should be shown/exemplified/expressed to the one you love? I don't necessarily mean that you should say to your dog or spouse or child, "Hey! I love you unconditionally!" But are there other ways to let someone know that you do?
And now for the real, answerable questions for you:
First, do you think it's necessary to let the other one know?
Secondly, how might it be expressed?
Third, is it enough to just silently feel it but not voice or express it to another?
I love hearing/reading all of your thoughts on this subject so please, keep 'em coming! And if you haven't responded yet to the question, it's not too late to jump in!
This is a blog about us Honeys. We've been married for 6 years, live in Littleton, CO, have a Chihuahua named Dobby, a Rat Terrier named Scarlett, three awesome cats (all referred to as our Furry Kids!) and some fish.
In November 2007 I was diagnosed with Cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer of the liver) and nave been undergoing chemotherapy since December '07 & Proton Radiation Therapy at M.D. Anderson in Houston, TX from December '08 - February '09, and then back on eternal chemo until we get the tumor to shrink away from one salvageable vein in the liver so that it can be surgically removed. We use this blog to keep family and friends updated on our struggles, loves, challenges, celebrations, goals, ideas and the general daily grind!

Unconditional Love Part II

There are infinite ways to express unconditional love.
It's not something that one has to make an effort to express... it makes itself known.
I don't think unconditional love is a feeling at all - it's something much deeper, out of which can come that feeling as a byproduct, or in cancer treatment terms, an after-effect. Therefore, it will express itself in most everything, large or small, to the one you love. I don't know that it is necessarily deliberately shown or expressed to another person - it just is.
