For me and my view, love makes life worth living. I never realized how "shallow"(for lack of a better word) my life was (31 years old when I meet my husband) until I meet my husband and had my children. Now I look back and realize why I felt I was drifting during my 20's....
I very much believe that there are many types and levels of love. Those of us luckily enough to have parents who were generous with their love demonstrated how to be open and honest giving love and affection at different levels without demanding/expecting ROI. As a parent I discovered love at a much deeper level. My DSs seem to understand love and that it generates satisfaction, encouragement and compliments. I love, admire and respect my husband even when I disagree with his views. I'd never do anything to embarrass him or knowingly, purposefully make him unhappy.
We have long term friends who we celebrate every joy and rush to help whenever something goes awry. I term it love at a different level, different type. We have a furbaby [dog] who brings joy to our lives daily and I know I would cry and feel heartbroken if he perished. Over the years my three older brothers have passed away. They were wonderful brothers and fine men, I miss them and feel so sad they are not here for all the family events. I still find it hard to talk about the joy they brought to my life.
