Okay, so we all seem to tackle some difficult topics in our blogs. Poop painting, abusive teachers, scary medical tests, incontinence. We all can relate to some or all of the topics without a second thought. Well, last night at supper, we had one of THOSE discussions. James was talking about love. It is a topic we talk a lot in our family. James being very black and white and apparently traditional, decided that love could only be between a boy and a girl (man and woman). My daughter, being a child who accepts everyone for who they are, (unless they are inherently cruel) asked why can't a man love a man and a woman love a woman. James didn't have a great comeback for this other than boys love girls and girls love boys, nuf said!
My husband, being the diplomat he is, took it one step further to hopefully give James another angle to look at and possible open his mind up a crack. He told James that he loves his dad, brother and son (James). After a second of consideration, James looked at his daddy and simply stated, "Yeah, well have you ever married a man?" "Ah,...... no"
I guess the door is closed on this conversation until James gets a little older and we dare to broach the subject of levels of love.
So today, I hope you find your bliss loving whoever you have chosen not just who society has decided for you.
