How Do I Love Thee?

I love my son...

affection, 

appreciation, 

attachment, 

cherishing,

delight, 

enchantment, 

enjoyment, 

fondness,

relish, 

sentiment, 

soft spot,

tenderness...

I'm sure I could come up with more, but in all honestly...
I could use every word in our language and it wouldn't come close to describing how I feel about my children. There aren't ENOUGH words to describe it, let alone with 100% accuracy. It's something to be felt, to be experienced to be understood. 

Even when I'm frustrated, because I can't sleep,

Or because I can't figure out WHY he is crying.

    I love him. 

Even when he is a whiny mess,

and NOTHING will satisfy him but to be held.

    I love him. 

Even when I'm ready to pull my hair out,

because he's pulled that book off the shelf...for the hundredth time.

    I love him.
