Love

How many of you out there have really felt love for from someone else?
I felt love for my grandfather for 14 years and then when he died I felt so empty inside without him. He loved me unconditionally.
When I was growing up we had animals but no one really took responsibility for them so when I was married my ex brought home the sweetest puppy that he got on his route when he was a mailman. The dog was 2 months old. She was so small and so adorable. He gave her to me and she was my real responsibility and I loved her so much. I named her Carli which in Hebrew means I am cold and in winter I was cold. In Israel it is not only cold outside, but, cold inside until one finds some kind of heating system to keep warm. When my Carli got sick she could not be saved so had to put her to sleep. That after my grandfather was very hard for me. I was lucky that my ex also found a 13 week old tabby cat wandering in the street and brought her home to me. So, then I had two pets. They were not only pets, they were family to me. My cat was named by one of my ex's children and she was called Mitzi. When Carli died she was a comfort to me. I loved Mitzi with all my heart and at the age of 20, 4 months shy of her 21st birthday she died in her sleep. I was devastated and could not live without another pet again. So, at the end of November 2014, my cat Sophie came into my life. That is my story about love.
Now, I would like to hear from you about the loves in your life.
