The great American poet E.E Cummings wrote this about love – “Love is the voice under all silences, the hope which has no opposite in fear; the strength so strong mere force is feebleness: the truth more first than sun, more last than star.”
Love is the force that sustains all of us in this inexorably, relentless world that never stops throwing curveballs our way. And I am not just talking about romantic love, I am talking about the love that we all feel in the corners and crevices of our heart for our fellow inhabitants on this planet.
And some of us are lucky enough to have it in our lives in as varied forms as possible. To the rest, who are still searching for that glimmer of hope, we have only one thing to say – don’t lose heart. We have procured a list of a few such heart-warming pictures that show us love in all its multi-hued beauty. This is the love we all aspire for. Take a look.
1. The Unquestioning Love Of This Pupper For His Human
Nothing says unconditional love, as the unconditional love of a pet for his master. A pet can sense when its owner needs a gentle nudge of the nose or a little lick. More so if that pet happens to be a dog. Lucky are those who have this unquestioning, unwavering love in their life.
2. The Love And Faith That A Daughter Has For Her Father
He will always be the first man in her life, and the comparisons are inevitable. No matter how much you love a woman, the record for it will forever be held by her father. She is the woman who was put on this planet under his care and he remains steadfast in his duties as her protector, her life-long supporter and her rock.
3. Love That Endures
A love that has been with you through thick and thin, that has weathered the storms of time. A love that is above all the superficialities, a love that is kind and supportive, even after spending all these years together. A love that is no longer a roaring fire rather it’s reduced to slowly burning embers that still give enough warmth.
4. Love That Needs No Validation
Imagine being in love with someone, being there for them for more than two decades, yet not being able to acknowledge that love because the world doesn’t yet have the vocabulary to do that. That’s the kind of love that exists between famous actor George Takei and his partner, Brad Takei née Altman. This couple could finally declare their love for each other in front of the world only when gay marriage became legal.
5. A Love That Transcends Borders
Picture this, you wake up one day to find that the world that you have known all your life, no longer exists. The place you called home has been torn by war and strife, your only hope for survival is fleeing to another country, and beginning from square one. In such a scenario, wouldn’t you want a calm, welcoming, reassuring hand that would be willing to embrace you and make you feel safe? This is the kind of love that is pictured above.
6. Love That Is There With You Till The End
Seems a curious sight, doesn’t it? What’s a dog doing on a hospital bed? But look closely and you’ll see an example of love that goes beyond the realm of definition and understanding. Pictured above is Mike Petrosino, who was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. When it became clear that getting better is not a possibility, Mike’s trusty companion Rusty came to bid him farewell.
7. Love That Wants More For You
How does a child throwing a temper tantrum count as an expression of love? This is because it’s not a temper tantrum, it’s a little boy overwhelmed with emotions at the sight of his beautiful mother walking down the aisle.
Bryson Suber, couldn’t contain his happiness when he saw his mother walking down the aisle. The realization that they were finally a family proved too much for his little heart and thus, the display of raw emotion!
8. Love That Finds A Way To Be There For You
You shared a bedroom, you shared clothes, you even shared the love of your parents. This is the kind of bond we have with our siblings, a kind of unspoken promise to have each other’s back. This brother-sister duo went a step ahead. They were diagnosed with brain cancer, together. At least they made sure that no one had to suffer alone.
9. Love That Doesn’t See Race, Creed Or Color
They say a child’s love is pure and devoid of any adulterations. This was proved correct when this child approached this law enforcement officer without paying any attention to his color. It didn’t matter to him, he was only meeting his hero!
