What is Love?

A young girl wanted a family more than anything, and one day a family was coming to the orphanage where she lived to speak to the managers about taking her home with them, and she was so excited! The family came, was very excited about having her as their own daughter and took her into their home. Yet after a few months, for some reason that she couldn’t understand, she ended up back at the orphanage, her newfound family was not able to keep her. Then a few years later, another family came to talk with the manager about taking this little girl, who wanted a family more than anything in the world, home with them. The same thing happened again, she went home with them, happy and excited, then a few months later, with hardly a word of explanation, she was back at the orphanage. This occurred time after time in this young lady’s life, it seemed no one wanted her.

Many years before these incidents, a young boy who lived high up in the Andes mountains, slept fitfully throughout the night, fearing that his beloved mother, the only person he had in his life that genuinely loved him, would die from her sickness. Then, just as he had finally dozed off, his mother’s voice cried out to him to run for help, she was very sick. This young man ran as hard and fast as he could though he had had little sleep, and came back with help, but sadly it was too late, his beloved mother was dead.
