Every day my mom would end the conversation with "Love you hunny." Most times I would say I love you back or a quick you too bye. Looking back I want to kick myself for not being the first one to say Love you but I guess a part of me loved knowing she way the starter.
Brandon says I love you to me everyday and after awhile it becomes a part of your daily vocabulary without giving it much thought. I think it is until the words are taken out of your daily life that you truly realize the meaning and how important they are to you. I am so thankful to have these words from him everyday and love his guts but wish I could hear them from my mom as well. She was one of the only family members growing up who would say these words to my sister, brother and I and I know they are missing it as well.
Point of the story is remember to tell those around you that you love them. When someone says I love you to you think of it as something more powerful than just an everyday phrase. Think in your mind what you would do if that person was gone the next day and what you would want them to know.
I made myself a little reminder this week that my mom is somewhere thinking this. Doing the dishes makes me smile a little more now!
