What is love?

Baby don't hurt me... Well no, not the song :).

But think about it. How do you explain what it feels like to know the love of a mother? What fills you (and I don't know why it fills my heart) when you get that hug of unconditional love? What is that feeling that makes you take a deep breath and feel 'contentment'?

What changes to find that one man that is more special than anyone else? Is it chemical? Then what's a parents love?

What makes a child so amazingly cuddly and snugly? What makes us find them cute and loveable? Why does a mother or a father go mad when their child giggles or gurgles?

Because I feel it. It's not theoretical. I've experienced it. Confident, 'it's there', strong love. For parents, for family, my husband, my son. The only way to describe it that makes sense is I need to fill a deep breath when I think of how much these people mean to me. I don't get why they do, as a logical question. But I get that they do.

But what IS love?
