unconditional love

To Harrogate tonight for a short escape from the rigours of the last few weeks. After a sad little funeral of a man whose life has been blighted by alcohol. What was remarkable and very touching was the love of those around him. Friends and family who stuck with him through thick and thin.
It made me think we often talk about people's value in terms of what they've done... Or possibly who they've loved. This man's value was almost entirely wrapped up in who loved him. Maybe that was his purpose in life... to be loved unconditionally.
