The parental, and filial affections seem to be as ardent, their sensibility and attachment, as active and faithful, as those observed to be in human nature.

Children love their mothers. Especially with a boy child and his mother, there's a bond that's unbreakable.

What can be more clear and sound in explanation, than the love of a parent to his child?

Love is of that excellent nature, that it is esteemed by the best of men, and accepted from the meanest persons; what then is the affection of a Father!

As children, we have a tenuous idea of love; we often try to quantify it with how much we feel seen and heard.

We are created in the image of our heavenly parents; we are God's spirit children. Therefore, we have a vast capacity for love - it is part of our spiritual heritage.

The fact is that people are good, Give people affection and security, and they will give affection and be secure in their feelings and their behavior.

Love is the driver for all great stories: not just romantic love, but the love of parent for child, for family, for country.

So much of what is best in us is bound up in our love of family, that it remains the measure of our stability because it measures our sense of loyalty. All other pacts of love or fear derive from it and are modeled upon it.

The depth of the love of parents for their children cannot be measured. It is like no other relationship. It exceeds concern for life itself. The love of a parent for a child is continuous and transcends heartbreak and disappointment.
