""I love you""

I said it to my dad last Sunday as I was leaving his room in the nursing home. He died the next morning.

I don’t say it a lot. I think the word "love" is overused in our society. We love everything with the same word--cheeseburgers, roses, spouses, pets, digital cameras--and the same intensity.  I think love is better shown--actions not words--although the words are nice to hear once in a while. 

I’d rather have my husband mop the kitchen floor silently & on his own initiative then give me a dozen roses and tell me he loves me.

There is no one in my life that I love who doesn't know it and hasn't been told and shown it.  And I don't go around seeking approval in the form of certain words from those I care about.  I saw so clearly last week which of my friends love me--I saw who supported me when my father died, who brought food to my  mother, who left work early to be at his memorial service.  They did not need to say "I love you" to show it.

"I told my brother I loved him last night & how proud not only I am of him but our Grandmothers would be."

He had a rough time getting through school, married his high school sweetheart, started his own company and has made a true success of himself - not only as a businessman but as a true family man. It's funny how people react to him now, he dug his way out of the trenches literally with his own two hands, sweat, plain old fashioned hard work. He was on the local news last night as one of the foremost developers rebuilding New Orleans.  Preserving  our history and progressing our future. 

Who do I want to say "I love you" to? My daughter always, but given the opportunity I would like to let my estranged husband know that even though irreparable damage has been done (by both of us) to our marriage he will always be loved. Maybe not liked, but love remains, whether we like it or not.

"The last one? My husband."

I only say it to my husband and my kids.  I admit it is difficult for me.  I mean, it's not like they're going to laugh and point and say "You must be kidding!! Hahahah! We don't love you!"  I try to remind myself of that when I find myself holding back.  I don't know if it's my generation or my upbringing or what, it's just hard for me.  They all say it to me too, usually first. 

 

There's no one else I'd really like to say it to, or I would like to say it to me.  (BTW, my parents are gone.)  I'm kind of a private person, so while I believe friends can care deeply about me in a way that's like love, it's different from what's between my kids and husband and me and it should be called by a different term. 

 

My kids are of that generation that seems to have substituted "I Love You" for "Good-bye" on the phone.  Call me curmudgeonly, but for me that cheapens it for the times you're saying it because you really want to express a deep emotion.

"The hubby!"

The last person I said "I love you" to was my husband, about 4 hours ago as he was leaving for work.  I say it to everyone that I want to, so I'm good there. 

 

Side note - I'll never forget the first time my dad said it to me at the end of a phone conversation.  I had been saying it for years, but this was the first time he said it to me first.  It was nice!

""I love you" is a common phrase between my daughter and I "

My daughter and I can hug, kiss and say "I love you" dozen of time a day.  But my husband has never say this to me.  He always say that action speaks louder than words.  It would be reassuring if he'll just be a lil romantic and tell me that.
