How Much Do You Love Yourself?
Posted in Love on Mar 6th, 2009
This thought was inspired by a wonderful blog post written by Qupid, Write A Love Poem To Yourself and my last post about anger, written months and months ago. That post brought up a sludge of memories about my dad, who was consumed with anger all his life and took it out on our family. Near the end of his life, I was visiting him with a niece in the nursing home he was placed in. As we were leaving, we gave him hugs, kissed him goodbye and told him how much we loved him. Pops said he loved us and then angrily spat out, “But I don’t love myself!”
