In a song, if somebody wanted to say to their deceased mom, "We loved you so much." what form of love would you use?


Would I use "Aishita" or something else? The child is a 16 year old.




Unlike 恋 ( _koi_ ) which refers to romantic love, technically speaking, you
can use 愛 ( _ai_ ) to refer to familial love. But it's basically a fairly big
word, and I believe most 16-year-old boys would feel embarrassed to use it.
大好き ( _daisuki_ ) should be much safer most of the time. 愛 might be safely
used if the writer is mature and the song contains stiff words or words
related Christianity/philosophy, but your song does not seem to be like this.
