U is for…

I strive to give unconditional love, to be unique, and to ultimately do my best at all times.

I learned the value of unconditional love from my father, who taught me to embrace everyone, regardless of their race, believes, what they did to me, etc., just like Jesus did.

I learned the value of being unique from my mother, who fostered my individualism by encouraging my creative endeavors, even when they weren't perfect.

Finally, I learned from both my parents the value of diligence and integrity, which ultimately lead me to do my best in everything I do in life.

As a human, these values don't always come easily, since hatred, commonality, and indolence could be easier.  However, wouldn't this be a better world if everyone strived for these values?  May the peace of the Lord be with you.
