By the time we have grown up, we know there are many kinds of love, and many ways to express it. When my daughters were small, I told them once, how it’s possible to love in different ways.

Canadian author Caitlin Hicks asked me to write a short essay for her blog, under this title. The theme is expressed in her story of a young girl growing up in a strict catholic family. Here is the link to the blog, and my own story.
