Yes that is love. No different than the love I have for my fiancé, or my daughter ( severe Asthma). You you don't seem to understand, is that your motivation on that front is 100% fear based. No matter how justifiably, it's your fear for her...that's motivating you.
That's fine.
Your greed on the other hand. Not so fine. Especially when you want others to sacrifice in order to protect her.
