What is Love?

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it all the time for her, even when his hands got arthritis, too. That's love."

    "When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth."

    "Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne, and they go out and smell each other."

    "Love is when my Mommy makes coffee for my Daddy, and she takes a sip before giving it to him to make sure the taste is OK."
