In 1958, the author John Steinbeck sent his son Thom a letter in response to the boy’s announcement that he had fallen in love:

…I don’t think you were asking me what you feel. You know better than anyone. What you wanted me to help you with is what to do about it—and that I can tell you.

Glory in it for one thing and be very glad and grateful for it.
 
The object of love is the best and most beautiful. Try to live up to it.

Great advice.
