Some people has a regret with their parents. Many of us asking for a perfect parents who could give us everything we want. But, have we asked ourselves "are we a perfect son/daughter to them that they wished us to be? And how often you say I love you to them? Try to think..... Maybe they are waiting. Don't waste time before its too late...

But you have too. It's better to tell and express your love to them, and always be thankful because with them you are here. don't wait before its too late

Hiya LTL, Now I tell that I love them most of the time but they are on the other side of life but they will still hear it. I will say it often in many forms. Although I canĀ“t go and put Flowers there I just send them with my mind and I know it reaches them as well. Prayers and good wishes reaches them too. Whilst they were on the Earth it was not easy at all to say this due to the circumstances. Now that they are both free they can see and understand better I would say.

Thats a interesting topic. I am married now with 3 kids and I find that I am saying I love you to my parents more now then I did when I was little. It seems also that they are saying I love you to me now more then they did when I was a kid. Not sure why this is but I dont mind it. It is always nice to hear someone tell you that they love you if they really mean it. Your right we should not wait until they say it to us we should say it to them because they might be waiting on us to say it and then it might never get said which will be bad.

Well, I lost my father sixteen years ago, so the last time that I had the opportunity to tell him that I loved him was sixteen years ago. I think, however, the loss of my father early in my life has made me appreciate my mother a lot more than I would have otherwise. I typically talk to her on the phone several times a week and I tell her that I love her every time that we talk. When we see each other in person we always part with a hug and also telling each other that we love one another. I think this is something that is very important to do.

I'm a daughter who loves to be coddled by her parents, mostly my mother, even at my age. I tell them I love them all the time. I initiate the hugs and kisses. I tell them I love them and give them many hugs and gifts of endearment just because I know that they're old and that they won't live forever. I don't want to feel that empty whole in my heart if and when they pass away. Sometimes all it takes is one endearment to make their day even better.

Sometimes I regret, But after I said the word I love you to my mother I feel so happy. One time I told my mother that I loved her but she replied "you are just overreacting while smiling. I know that her smile means she loved me so much and she is proud hearing the word.

Growing up, my family had a lot of problems so things like these were pushed aside. Up to now, I still cannot say I love you to my mom. My dad passed away without hearing me say those words to him. I might have said it when I was a toddler, but when I became an adult it was kind of awkward to say these words. I hope that when I have children I can teach them to say I love you without feeling awkward.

Indeed, I don't say I love you to my parents or rarely to my husbnad. It is just our culture that we don't express very much but we do love each other although we don't say it, we hide it.

never in my life had i spill out the words i love you to my parents.but it does not mean i dont love them. love is expressed in various ways, its just like the thought that eggs can be cooked a hundred ways. spilling it out to then in open is significant for them to realize that loving them is not only limited in actions but thru words as well. either one or both, for me, expressing love to them is not measured by saying or doing, but how you expressed it to them.

I think I can only count the times that I've said I love you to my parents. And all them are not verbal, just written like when we chat in the internet. Neither have they said I love you to me. For once in my life I've never heard them say I love you to me. And I feel awkward every time I wanna say I love you to them so I could never say it. I guess we're just not that type of family that freely says what they feel to each other especially about saying I love you, except if they are angry at me then they freely say what they feel. But love? Naah...

Parents know that we love, but I know from us? You absolutely right.Our parents love us and know that we love. And we know that reciprocity, and we know what they know. And yet, it is very important to hear from us, to know this truth of our voice, not intuition or our gestures. "Mom, I love you! Dad,I love you. "They are words we go through going every day, but forget to speak,we take with each other and we omit the fact that parents live only and only for us. Thank you remembered this!

Frankly, I never say I love you to my parents. It is useless to express it without the real action. I show my love to my parents through the deed I do. For example, when I was a kid, my mom asked me to go home right after the school hour was over. Then, I did follow her instruction. It is a love, indeed. Another example, my parents financed and paid my tuition when I was in the college. I eventually finished my education punctually (four years), and it had made my parents proud of me. Although I never say I love you to them, they always know that I love them by noticing my conducts. It is very simple to do without having to say I love you to them. The word of love is okay, but it must be followed by real conduct, so our parents will know that we really love them.

Lately I am full of loving and kind words for my mother. She's old and quite sick now a days and I don't want to let the day passed without letting her know how much I love her and care about her health. Yes, it's better we do it now before we regret it when the time comes it's time for them to go!

I tell them that, on occasions . However, i see to it that my action always tells them so. Action speaks louder than words.

I regret to say that I do not often tell them how much I love them. But now that I have my own family and appreciate the role of being a parent, I sometimes say it and most of the time express how much I value them as my parents.
