If you are:
Listening; Holding space; Protecting.

When you say:
See you soon; Get home safe; Be careful.

If you can:
Hold their hand; Hug tightly; Just *be* there.

This is Love. Love is Love. I love you.

Prompted word was “Love”.
Requester was my mother
Request method was Instagram.

Author notes: Love isn’t sex. Love isn’t exclusively romantic. Love is family. Love is friends. Love is partners. Love is love.
