Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to love somebody, even when they don't deserve it. What I've been raised to believe (and I really do believe it) is that love isn't all about flowers and good times. When you love someone, when you really truly love them, you know that times are going to be rough. Sometimes you wish that you didn't love them. But you can't help it, that's just how love is. You love someone even when they don't deserve your love, you love them inspite of themselves and whatever actions they take.
I'm not saying that someone should stay in a situation that is bad for them, that's not what I mean at all. If the bad are outweighing the good by a long shot, if your life (children, etc) is in danger... that's not what I'm talking about at all. All I mean is that sometimes someone does something stupid or says something that shouldn't be said or acts a certain way during a certain time... and it's not easy to just get away from that. You love them through the bad until you get to the good again. As long as there's good to hold onto.

Sometimes the good times with my dad are so unbelievably good. Happy and fun and joking around like the person I know he is. And then you find out something stupid he's doing and you want to just hate him. But its so hard cause you remember the good times and you know you can't just give up on him even though he might deserve it.
But if we didn't love him- or if we thought he didn't really love us, our world wouldn't exist. It'd be some crumbled shadow of what used to be. Every aspect of our life would change. And we would all be so incredibly crushed.
I just wish he'd keep acting like the person we all love so much.
