I saw this post where some experts asked little ones to define what love is.
Here are some of my favorite answers:
"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." ~ Terri - age 4
"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." ~ Danny - age 7
"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen." ~Bobby - age 7
"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate."
~ Nikka - age 6
"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well." ~ Tommy - age 6
"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken." ~ Elaine - age 5
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford." ~ Chris - age 7
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross." ~ Mark - age 6
[sorry, this might be TMI but it made me laugh so I had to share.]
"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget." ~ Jessica - age 8
What a beautiful pictures these little ones create.
It is my hearts desire to create the same picture for my own children.
I am determined that they know how much they are loved and how much their father is loved.
That is why I started this blog.
That is why I continued as regularly as I could when I was going through treatment.
I didn't know what was going to happen.
I couldn't predict the future.
But I could do something about today.
And I could leave bits and pieces of me.
Bits and pieces of my love for them to find later on.
Life is so precious my friends.
I cannot remember for the life of me where I heard it.
If you know maybe you can give me a shout so I can update this.
But the other day I heard something along the lines of:
{It is a privileged to be able to grow old with someone.}
I could not agree more.
Yet so many of us take this for granted.
One final story from this same site:
Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.
The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.
Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said,
"Nothing, I just helped him cry."
