Unconditional Love

by Faith, San Mateo 

Here is a story about real love. My grandma is the only one I feel that shows me real love. She is the one who always brings me up when I am down. She always knows when something is wrong. She always tells me if I ever want to talk or if I just want to cry, she will always be there to hold me. My grandma is the one person that was willing to take me in when my mom and other family didn’t want to take care of me. She is always there for me through all of my hard times. She always tries her hardest to show me love even when I am in here. I love my grandma with everything in me.  

Love is a strong and deep word. If you tell somebody that you love them and you don’t really mean it or you’re just saying it to say it, that can really hurt a person. Love can break a person down to the point where they don’t want to love anymore. But love can also make a person want to love a lot more. Love can hurt you, and love can heal you. You just have to find real love and the right kind of love and not fake love. For me, I don’t know if I want to be in a relationship and love again. I have been hurt way too much but I will always have love for my family.
