These past four days have been quite busy for me. It was filled with bitter and sweet moments and memories. Last Friday I attended the memorial service of my dearly beloved Aunty Vicky. She was one of my favorite aunts. I practically grew up at her house during my early childhood. She and my mom go way back and have much history together. They have shared many of life’s precious moments together and have had their fair share of bitter and sweet memories. Through the challenges of life, my mom and Aunty Vicky swore to be blood sisters forever and that they were. Despite their differences, their love and commitment to each other and family span six decades.

True Love
What is Love? Is there really true love? That is the million dollar question. Philosophers, religious leaders and corporate America have all tried to define love for us but what is it really? The manufactured love we see on TV, on the big screen and in copious romance and fantasy novels gives us the impression that love is a powerful, blissful, passionate display of emotions; most importantly, it is always romantic. However, with the high divorce rate and breakups with this kind of love, it makes us wonder what love really is and if that one true love really exist.
Love is many things but not about fulfilling our desires, lust and wants. It is not about controlling the object of our affection. It is not conditional and demands for attention.
