Just a few people can make your day.

My morning started out very good. I was at work and my son called to tell me he loved me. He is going on a short trip and just called to let me know....then I get home and my daughter had left a message on the answering machine that said that she loved me and misses me. (She lives in ARizona across the country from me). I was worried because she was crying so I called and left a message on her answering machine as I knew she was working. For Christmas she gave me muffing tins....and last night when I was making muffins I thought of her and emailed her....I said....Everytime I make muffins I think of you...it's snowing...I'm making muffins...I am thinking of you! Love mom...well she said that got her thinking about how many times we had spent endless hours making muffins together and cookies...and it made her miss me so much she called on the way to work to tell me that she loved and missed me! And she said she broke down crying because of it....she has a friend that always wants to be at their house because her and her kids bake and cook together and have so much fun. I also did that with my mom and grandma...so it's a generational thing. Sometimes when you stop to tell someone that you love them....it comes back many times over. Don't forget to tell someone today how much you love them!

What a touching post, thank you.
We all need to remember that it's the little things that our kids will remember fondly and with love. I failed at that myself and only wish I could have even half of that time again to live over.
Treasure it.

Oh Jill what a beautiful posting. Yes it is so important to tell people you love and miss them. I get random texts from my daughters say 'Hi mum, thinking of u, love u, xxx' and they make you all warm instead. First thing in the morning myself and my small son have a huggle (his version of a hug and a cuddle bless) and tell each other we love each other. Wow muffins, but it is the little triggers like that that do make you think of someone close that you love. Thank you so much for sharing this. Ellie :D

Your story is very touching to me! I had never really been close close to my mom growing up. I mean i sure i was when i was a small child, but teenage years we were not close and my early adulthood i was distant as well. cause i thought my mom wasn't proud of me and stuff. But anyways, i had NEVER heard her say i love you, untill i moved away! I think she heard me saying i love you to my daugther and she just blurted it out and explained that her mom and dad never said it so she had a hard time just coming out and saying it. But now we say it all the time ;) it's nice to hear it from your parents and from your kids. hehe my daughter still can only say lub jou lol but its cute and i know what she means ;)

What a good reminder! I love moments where it kind of settles on you that you love someone so deeply, and they love you the same way. Even if it is one person, who cares? It is love, and it needs to be expressed. I would hate for any of my loved ones to feel that the affection was one sided. That is why I am not ashamed to call, e-mail, or say in person how much a person means to me.

Our day can be made only by the people who are important for us , but in the same time it can be made by anyone , when life wants to give us a lesson to learn something important. Any person can teach us a lesson and can make our day, i think,it depends only of how open mind we are.

How true. I don't often enough tell our kids that I love them. I do, however, tell them all the time I live for them and they are the most important part of my life. Don't know what I would do without our 3 girls. Two already called this morning and we chatted for a long time. The youngest is out of state and she usually calls on Sunday's. My little grandson always gets on the phone when our daughter calls and tells me he loves me. He's 3 and I do miss him so much. I always tell him I love him too at the end of every phone conversation. I think it's something most people take for granted. I am a very caring person but don't always show that side. I tend to stuff my feelings a good part of the time and that's not healthy. Words don't always come easy for me.

Bless your wonderful heart!!! Most of my myLot friends know that I only had one child who is now 35 years old and we talk everyday on the phone. She has never talked to me without saying "I Love You" and I would never think to hang up without telling her as well. I thank God every dau for my small family. My daughter her hubby who I love very much also and my wonderful loving grandson and granddaughter. We are blessed with the best jillhill!!!

WOW, what a wonderful job you have done raising your children. Your discussion is so moving it brought tears to my eyes. I agree with you about telling someone you love them and that isn't done enough now days, people are usually too busy and in such a hurry. We all need to slow down and enjoy each other. Thank you for sharing this wish us.
