Love, no matter what

12 CQ

What is it like to raise a child who's different from you in some fundamental way (like a prodigy, or a differently abled kid, or a criminal)? In this quietly moving talk, writer Andrew Solomon shares what he learned from talking to dozens of parents -- asking them: What's the line between unconditional love and unconditional acceptance?

    Hearing what you had to say about Love has taught me so much more about God. Being the wife of a pastor always leaves me wondering how people can say no to what they have been given. Me? I have MS that is a daily struggle. I have 3 boys who grew up with me being this way and they are the most loving men I know.We have helped each other through the difficulties of life and it brings me great joy. Bless you as you watch your children grow. Shalom
