will you still love me?

 
Will you still love me if I'm no longer with my man, who you've grown to admire?  
 
Will you still love me when I have kids, or not?
 
Will you still love me when I up and join a commune, with multi-generational social progressives?
 
Will you still love me when I have friends that smoke weed, do ecstasy recreationally, and get drunk off their ass?
 
Will you still love me when I swear?
 
Will you still love me when I eat marijuana cookies?
 
Will you still love me when I stop wearing pants, and wear long flowy gowns like the hare krishnas or loin cloths like Gandhi? 
 
 
Will you still love me when I marry a second husband at the same time?
 
Will you still love me when I'm a part of the adult industry?
 
Will you still love me when I'm homeless?
 
Will you still love me with my PhD?
 
Will you still love me when I cage fight?
 
Will you still love me when you see nude art in my home?
 
Will you still love me as an author of all sorts of subjects?
 
Will you still love me when I don't always tread cautiously, when I let you see all of me?
 
Will you still love me when I change, just like you might change?
 
 
It's your right to decide what works best for you.
Just like me.
There is no shaming.
I'm letting go of judgement.
Trying.
And finding relief.
Opening.

  1. Will I still love you? I will for ever love you as long as I live for the day you were born I was born also. I cradled you in my arms for a very short while, but I will forever hold you in my heart.Your childhood is now gone and I miss those wonderful times. What ever paths in life you may choose to embrace, my love will be with you and I will cherish you always.
    Will I still love you? It is my hope that you can understand the depth of your mother's love for you, as I also do hope that you have seen it and felt it in your growing up years.
    You are one of the greatest gifts God has ever given me; you have given my life more meaning and happiness than you could ever know...
    Percy I love you for always, as long as I live you my precious son will always be! Mom

  2. I am warmed to see your response. A mother's love is one of the most desired loves. It is not always to be taken for granted, and it changes character, is stressed, is strengthened, has its own dynamic. It seems to be so with everyone. Still, I'd rather we both lay down to our graves with hearts fond and love spoken freely. I cherish you and think of you a few times a week always, probably will be so forever. I am your blood, your smile, your cells-expanding temperament, your Latin warmth, your house-cleaning impulse, your bed-side manner. Much of you lives every day in me. Thank you for loving me. I love you always, Percy
