In a word, everything!
To paraphrase Clairee, as played by Olympia Dukakis in the movie Steel Magnolias, “It's love — and our ability to accessorize — that separates us from the animals.” So there you have it. And if I were you, I wouldn't argue with Clairee.
We love our significant others, our children, our friends, and, hopefully, our careers. I recently learned the value of lost love when my best friend of more than a quarter of a century passed away just before Christmas. We'd lived more than 1,000 miles apart for many years but always caught up on Sunday afternoons, right after he got back from Mass.
