I was actually quite surprised to discover that I loved my grandchildren as much as I loved my children. I hadn't thought about it much; just assumed it would be different. And it is different but not in degree!

I remember as a youngster how one dimensional love was. It seemed like love was just love. I like the idea of testing it against your love for your mother. I remember trying to explain the different kinds of love to my daughter when she was a teen. Then just recently, before Her Highness was born, she expressed her fear about whether should could love another child as much as she loved the first one. You did a great job of explaining with manners and matters.

Do you think men wonder about these things or is this a female thing?

Happy Valentine's Day, or as we say in our family, Happy Valenta's Day.

I loved your comments from your mother, please thank her for sharing her feelings.

I love Norman for his support, guidance & being there for our granddaughter who from now on I will call her Lucy. He moved countries to help me raise her.

I love each of my children in different ways. My daughter I love the memory of her childhood, the beautiful face, the love that she use to have for me. I love my darling son who now lives in Australia. I love the fact that is a good strong man, who is kind & considerate to his family & friends.

I love to hear the tui sing (A New Zealand native bird), I love the smell of new rain & a lawn that has just been cut. I love our cat 'Woof.' I love my friends not only those in New Zealand but also my internet friends who I've never meet.

I love you Lisa, for your understanding and for being a dear friend.

Happy Valentines Day to you & Jim. Hope you got a dozen red roses!

Hard to understand until you experience it. Some people hold onto their love and dole it out like money. Others share it openly and generously as though they will never run out.

Alas, right now I'm struggling with the thought of having to say goodbye to all those I love. At the same time I have learned how much I am loved in return.

It took me many years and many experiences to learn the lesson you wrote about. Along the way I also learned another truth about love and that's that the capacity to love never gets used up ...there is always more within one to give some more away.
