Learning how to love.

You do not have to be like each other to be close. I would certainly not want to live with my clone. That would be hell. I like people who are different. Not like me. Vive le difference. My girlfriend and I are similar in some ways. But also very different. And that's good. Turns out that we balance each other. Make each other more whole. My mom and I had our differences. But still, we loved each other. Love often is a matter of unconditional acceptance. A beautiful blending. Of mother and daughter. Of mother and son. It's a matter of learning how to love. --Jim Broede
