I wonder, what is to feel that one has a mother or father...

How do people feel, what emotions do people hold when they are blessed with parents. 

I wonder, whether what I feel for Maria is love. I do not have an example in my life to cross-check this against. 

How does it feel to have a mother? How do the mothers show their love to their children? 

When people share their relationship with their mothers I wonder whether they are saying the truth!

Now, how does it feel to have a father? Do you feel protected and loved? 

And last, how does it feel being loved by another human being? How does it feel being loved by father, mother, sibling or spouse? Do love exist in real?

Whom to ask these questions?
