My belief (not held by many, I am sure), is that love is not the most important thing in a relationship or meeting of minds......

More important is loyalty, respect, honour.......these are not emotions, they are values.

And Michael, I am quite fond of you, despite the fact that you might not feel the same way, and I couldn't care less. I do not need you to be fond of me in order for me to be fond of you.

I do not subscribe to the idea that you have to 'love' in order to be 'loved', because everyone's version or ability to love cannot be measured.

Take care, dear one.

Michah
