A Eulogy by Heather Broadbridge
How many times have you asked
or been asked to define love
Can you?
Think.
What does it really mean?
My mother knew the meaning of love.
She demonstrated it, showed it, felt it, earned it and gave it.
She loved my sister & I unconditionally.
Can you tell the difference?
Mom taught us the differences of love. She knew that you could love someone and not like them at the same time. She would say to Marlene & I if we were giving her a hard time "I may not always like you but I always love you".
The word itself is often used & most times the true meaning is abused.
When our mother said she loved us or said it to someone else she meant it. It had the same meaning each & every time.
Love is giving and Mom gave with her whold mind, body and soul. Not expecting anything in return but when you give love as deeply as our mother did you can't help but have it returned & then some.
In the end her cup runneth over.
