The definition of love
Someone asked me to define love the other day and I was stumped for an answer. Years ago I was explaining my father to a friend at a cabin in the Sierra and my friend said, “That’s not love.” It is to me, I thought. And now, many relationships later, I still couldn’t tell you what love is, but I found a definition that will suffice for lack of my own:
Love is what you’ve been through with somebody. ~James Thurber
