Lucy,

What a great response. I'm 75 and loved three women in my life. My wife Margaret has taught me unconditional love more than anyone.

She came to our marriage and was instantly the step-mother of 8 and within a year, the grandmother of 3 at age 39.

When you love unconditionally it doesn't mean you won't get hurt. It means that you won't let the prospect of pain get in the way of offering unconditional love.

Thank you for your insightful perspective.
