Well, this one is easy.
I believe there is no greater love, no deeper commitment than that of a parent for a child. I love my daughter with all my heart. And my Mother, too, for that matter.
It's hard to quantify such a thing as love but there are countless others I love too; friends and my family of origin and my extended family. My now ex-husband, even my ex-boyfriends. To me, the heart is boundless in it's ability to expand and love others.
Do I love my daughter and mother more than the others?
Perhaps.
Maybe it's a case of how "unconditional" the feeling is. I don't really have a way to test this fortunately because no one on my list of people I love has behaved in any way that would cause me to love them less. I am blessed in that way.
And in so, so many other ways.
