We protect the ones we love from harm. We defend them. We hold them close. We sometimes even turn into mama bear.

Because love always protects.

Love protects -- always!

Love does protect! And it comforts too! I love you kiddo!

Yes, it does! Love you!!

Yes, this is true, but especially so when someone becomes a parent. Then comes the moment when you realize that you have to let your kiddos go through some hardships so they can learn that they are resilient and strong and capable and it just is so heart-wrenching because that protective part of you is screaming to get out and keep them from all heartache. Being a parent is the greatest gift ever, but it's not for the feint of heart.

Oh, my goodness, yes! Nothing prepares you for the ache of watching your baby face hard things!

And then I cried :( Indeed. Love always protects. What a weird instinct. I've been said that it's just being selfish. Because you'd get hurt if something bad happens to the person you love. So you're basically protecting yourself. I think it's hard to explain this with words. But yes, of course, indeed: love always protects.

Oh, no! I hope it was a happy cry, girlie!
I guess I can see how it can be perceived as selfish because you don't want to get hurt, but I see it as a beautiful way to show love, by being protective and guarding! To truly love is to be someone's knight in shining armor, ready to defend, no matter the cost! :)
It really is hard to find the right words for emotions -- especially love!

Love is home. Love protects the one you care about from all things that could cause harm not only physcal harm but also emotional and mental harm. To me love is life it's self
