A couple days ago, my younger daughter asked me who I love most. I remember asking my mother the same question. She told me "I love you all equally," and that was not a satisfying answer.
I tried to explain that I love her and her sister in different ways, but this also fell short. It sounds like apples and oranges, and you have a preference. I like oranges, but they're messy. You can always chomp an apple.
I wanted to say it's more like colors, but with kids, that's the same thing. It's different for adults though. If someone asks me now, I'll say "green," as a shortcut- a carryover from childhood. I like blue, yellow, orange and red just as much.
After years of living closely with someone, it's kind of like attaching memories to many tones of a color. Elise is gentle, competitive, sensitive, focused. Anna is daring, individualistic, fun-loving, witty.
It's difficult to put into words how you love someone.
