Those three words... "I LOVE YOU"

Dont come easy... from me that is. I have always struggled to tell the ones I love those three little words. I think it is because when I was a child my mother and father never told me they loved me. I never heard those words unless I was hurt or scared and that was rare. So I make it a point to tell my children all the time that I love them. As well as that special someone in my life.. I am really working on this one. But making good progress...

'I love you' means that I accept you for the person that you are, and that I do not wish to change you into someone else. It means that I will love you and stand by you even through the worst of times. It means loving you when you're in a bad mood or too tired to do things I want to do. It means loving you when you're down, not just when you're fun to be with. I love you means that I know your deepest secrets and do not judge you for them, asking in return only that you do not judge me for mine. It means that I care enough to fight for what we have and that I love you enough not to let go. It means thinking of you, dreaming of you, wanting and needing you constantly, hoping you feel the same way for me.
