While giving up your life’s dreams and goals to follow me down the path that this Navy career has taken me, you did it all without a single complaint and/or regret. First, I will explain how you demonstrate all four categories of love. Then I will share some quotes that remind me of you and your love. Finally, I will conclude this letter with a poem that I wrote just for you.
When I was looking up the definition of unconditional love, I came across four categories of love. Your unconditional love demonstrates each category listed below:
1. Agape Love – This is love by choice. You choose to love me through thick

3. Storge Love – This is family love and affection. Your love for my kids and I
is astounding!! Strong love keeps the family united.
4. Eros Love – This is sexual desire. If it had not been for that love you had for
dad when you two created me, I would not be here.
Of all the different types of love, you exhibit Storge love the most. You are always hugging and kissing us. You...
