15. Avoid providing material for the drama that is always stretched tight between parents and children; it uses up much of the children’s strength and wastes the love of the elders, which acts and warms even if it doesn’t comprehend.

- Lori Chidori Phillips

They say you have to earn the right to be loved; no, love is unconditional, if you love someone, they don’t have to earn it. But. The right to tell someone that you love them? That has to be earned. You have to earn the right to be believed.
― C. JoyBell C

23. In our country we call this type of mother love teng ai. My son has told me that in men’s writing it is composed of two characters. The first means pain; the second means love. That is a mother’s love.
Here’s to the people who gave me life
And then showed me how to live it
And taught me that you measure love
By how freely you can give it
And the gift I give to you
Is the lesson that I learned
That when a love is true
It has nothing in return
Unconditional love, that they gave to me
It wasn’t mine to keep and I knew someday
I’d hand it down to you and hope that I can be
The one who makes you see
The importance of unconditional love
And there were times I know I let them down
But never once was I rejected
And when I stood alone to face this world
Somehow I still felt protected
That’s the common bond we share
And it will last through the years
And you can trust that I’ll be there
Through the good times and the tears
Unconditional love, like they gave to me
It’s not yours to keep and I know someday
Someone will look to you and you will have to be
The one who makes him see
The importance of unconditional love
How one generation Loves, the next generation Learns
My father was a generous, beyond his means … but the greatest gift he gave me, was the Gift of Love.
