Re: What is
Love is a rather nebulous feeling where I am concerned it comes and goes. I love my children and grandchildren, I would die for them if I had to, but I am not besotted by them. If any of them sadly died before me, I would be very sorry but as far as I am concerned that would be the end of that chapter. I have never done grief. I loved my maternal grandmother to pieces, we got on well, but when she died in 1980 that was that, I didn't shed a tear.

Re: What is
Love is what makes life worth living.I love my wife, I love my family, I love my dogs, I love my friends and take great pleasure from knowing that they are or have been part of my world and have added so much quality to my life.
Being "in love" is what makes life exciting. I feel incredibly fortunate that after meeting 18 years ago and falling head over heels instantly, after 17 years of marriage, we are both still as much "in love" with each other as we were at the beginning (much to the kids' embarrassment). We've been through so much together (serious illness etc) and have achieved so much together that our relationship still seems to deepen daily.

Re: What is
Love is what makes you the person you are.I love my family dearly, my husband, children and their partners and grandchildren. They say there is no greater love than between a mother and her child, that is so true in my case and I would do anything for them.
Love is seeing beyond and and accepting people for how they are. Love is the comfort you offer to someone close who is ill ........... love gives you a warm feeling.
Love must be difficult to describe if one has never experienced it
