“What is ‘love?’ I think it’s the most bandied about word in our vocabulary. What is it, really? It means different things to different people. I know that if he needs me, wherever I am, I will stop doing whatever I’m doing and go to him. Just like that. I know that whatever it is I feel deep down inside of me, it allows me to see him for himself. It has to do with my deep love for him, or deep emotion. But I can only describe it like…in the pit of my gut. [Cicely jabs her stomach with her fist.] That’s what that is; whatever you want to call it. It’s there. He knows it’s there and I know it’s there.”
