Question:
A group of professionals posed this question to a group of kids between the ages of 4-8, What does love mean?
The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See for yourself. The innocence of children is ever so present.
When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore.
So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.
