It's all about love!!! It's about holding hands and smiling at strangers and waving at babies!!!! it's about bringing tupperware full of food to someone who just had a baby!!! it's hugging someone when they cry and cheering for them when they succeed!!! it's unconditional, it's vital, it's everything!!!
