How Big Is Love?

Description

'My love stretches back to Creation and forward to the end of time. I loved you then, I love you now, I'll love you always.'

A young child and a loving family member sit on the porch at sunset watching a storm roll in. The adult whispers, 'I love you,' but the child needs reassurance: 'How much?' With each new declaration, we learn that the love between adult and child is boundless.

A gorgeous and gentle look at all the ways we are loved.
