I try. But one of the things I've been working on in therapy for ten years, with limited success, is that I strip memories from their associated emotions before filing them away. So I can remember that I did feel love when I looked at her. I can even describe the feeling of love. But I can't access those feelings. I report memories. :(
Now when I look at the video tapes of her, I can access the feelings at least for a bit. I guess I could try looking at pictures of my son when I was little, or pictures of her, or videos, before meditating. That might help me access those feelings of love.
