Learning love

Why is it that the ones closest to us are also the ones who cause us the most pain? We let them in and love them and then in a moment of anger or prejudice everything changes. How is it that we don't allow those we love the most to be human? I have been very blessed to have a blood family and a spiritual family who both know how to step beyond human faults and frailties. The worst pain in my life was when I made decisions that hurt one I care about. He helped both of us step beyond that pain. How he did that, I am still trying to find the words. Love that is so strong and bold yet so humble and tender. I hope to love like that. I hope to carry that lesson with me all my days and always choose to love like that. Thank you uncle. I look forward to the lessons to come but for now I reside happily in the love you have taught and shown. Many blessing.
