what is love, anyway, in explanation? persistence and donuts on sundays, emails that trail off but assert the obvious, anyway: i love you because i do. it is holding the receiver up to my god-daughter's face so i can hear her gurgle and swallow, so i can tell her i love her. persistence. it is telling me that you will keep trying no matter how unresponsive i get. i have these people already.
