How often do you say it to people? I say it to my family a LOT, and even my best friend. When my mom got sick, suddenly I started saying it at the end of every conversation or every goodbye in case that was the last time I saw or talked to them. I got it from both my parents, and I’m glad I did. I do try to respect people I love, who are not comfortable with being told that. I don’t know a lot of people like that though.
Amyra (14) is in this picture, and I notice she says it at the end of our conversations too. You know, at the end of my mom’s life she lost her ability to talk. I remember the last time she ever said I love you. We were in the car, sitting in front of a 7-11, waiting for my dad. I told her I loved her, and she was able to push the words out with a smile. Made my day even in the midst of the heartache.

I rarely say I love you to anybody unless they say it to me first. I do love people but don't think about telling them I love them.
I give the hug and love emoji on myLot to friends a LOT more than I actually say it to anybody.

I don't think I say it enough. I am most apt to say it to my son though.

What a great smile Amyra has. I am glad she has picked up on the love all around her. I probably do not say it often enough, but you know, when I say it I mean it. Love you girl.

That makes me tear up, but I am glad that you remember the last time that she said that.
Those are such important words.
I use them when I truly love someone and when I want them to know that, and for the same reason as you do, I may not see them again, but even if I do, I want them to know that I love them.
There were alot of I love you's said at the wedding when we left and said our good bye's.
I'm thankful that my family says it back.

I say it often, daily. When I say it, I mean it...friends, family...there is not enough love in the world. I want to be part of spreading it around.
