Happy Valentine’s Day to all who celebrate. ❤️
It’s a good day to remember that different people define love differently in different places. Once when I was living in Mozambique, a friend stopped by to visit, and her toddler was cuddling her close as he was breastfeeding, pausing to play, coming back to nurse, releasing to snuggle, and then repeating the process all over again. I remarked (in her language), “he sure does love you,” and she made a weird laugh in her throat and said “Love??? When has he ever brought me anything to eat?”
