ooh! a blow below the belt

So I was working with a group of ten year olds.
"Come and answer their questions," said the teacher.
"What about?"
"Your faith, what you do, why you do it. You know? Basic stuff."
"OK," says I, "'love to!"
We were about twenty minutes in when this lad says, "Sir. What does it feel like to be loved?"
Got that out there?
We'll start with the easy ones and work up OK?
So, answers in the comment section please. Oh, and please remember that some kid out there is looking to you for any help he can get.
What does it feel like to be loved?
Love,
Pete

Wow, what a deep question for a young lad to ask...

I guess it feels like home.
And it feels like there is no emptiness left inside.
And sometimes it takes a lot to truly believe that if it really is LOVE, it is unconditional...

You have such a fun job!!!
These kids must suprise you a lot, eh?
