As a mother would throw herself into traffic to save her child, I wouldn't hesitate to take a car's hit if it meant sparing Noah. Sacrificing your own needs for the needs of another. Not just some gushy feeling you get. Love certainly is a beautiful word. But words are not necessarily always important.
Love is dynamic.
Love is an action and actions ARE important. I can tell Noah I love him. I can verbally remind him of that every day. But he will never understand. It may sound extreme, but you can never love someone too much.
