I love my Mom.
I love my sister.
I love my friend Steve.
I'm IN love with ratbastid.
I'm IN love with D (my girlfriend).
The 'in love' part for me is the difference between affection and acceptance (which is love, for me) and the "aaaaaahhhhh...that person is so perfect I just can't believe it." There are times when I've been "in love" with my mom - when she does something so awesome I just can't believe I'm lucky enough to have such a great mother.
I guess it's all kind of the same mush of emotions, just different nuances.
