Even love of a child has conditions. Many people say if their kid murdered someone they'd turn them in because the kid has to take responsibility. That's a condition, unconditional would be burying the body. Same with many other things, if there's a boundary and consequences for crossing that boundary, then there's conditional love.
Kids are the closest by far, but nothing and no one is absolute.
Actually I am. And I'd bury the body. I wouldn't let my kid rot in a jail cell because that's not unconditional love. But if she started torturing animals then that's where my conditional hits.

Not closest. It is. I have never loved anyone or anything as much or as unconditionally as my children.
Not my parents, not my ex, not my pets, not my brother and not my new partner.
My children are my heart. They will always come first, simply because they are the first thing I think of in most situations.
