What is love?
Love is a hug or a kiss from your parents.
It's also the twinkle in your grandfather's eye, or your grandmother cooking.
It's what you give your friends when they're down.
It's what you give your spouse on dates, on your wedding, in bed, and in many other places.
Love is a new baby.
It's your dog licking your face.
It's a cat purring and rubbing your legs.
It's a card on Valentine's Day.
It's staring at your cousin's hamster.
It's doing something for someone that you'd rather not do.
It's doing something over and over again.
It's remembering someone you cared about.
That's what love is.
