Teachers, do you ever feel a love for certain students? (Not in a creepy way)?

Teachers, do you ever feel a special kind of love for certain students? I don't mean in a creepy or sexual way, but just a special kind of innocent love. Perhaps students who excel because of your help, etc. And if you have, could you specify whether your are a man or a woman and whether the student was a boy or a girl? Thanks
I really don't mean this in a creepy way....just kind of like the way you love a friend or something.
