I once got an email about children who were asked to define love, and one of the answers was just so dead on, the child said love was how her grandmother could not bend down to paint her toenails anymore, and her grandfather painted them for her. Now if that is not love I do not know what love is. What does your special love do to show you love without saying it?

I received that one too, very touching and so very real. I haven't a partner but my son when he wakes each morning gives me a huggle (cuddle/hug) and syas mummy 'I love you' makes my day every day and he does it so automatically, he also sense if I am feeling low and will give me what he calls a squeezy hug to make mummy better. Ellie :D

that is beautiful, I think my son told me he loved me maybe two times in his adult life, it makes me sad but I do know he loves me.

At this moment he is out buying pie. He turns on the bed warmer each night so the bed will be warm when I get there. He turns on my paraffin bath for my hands to get softened. He drives me anywhere he can when we can be together.I have coffee ready when I get up in the morning. Sometimes I get coffee in bed. I came into his life late in the day, he came into my life after great losses, so we value each other.

I wanted to take dinner. Not a dinner at a posh restaurant but one at the hawker centre. He told me he was broke and can only afford a simple and light meal. I offered to pay, he insist he has to pay. He ordered only my share and said he will settle his at home. He even refused to share what is on the table saying it was barely enough for a decent meal. It was just a simple act, so simple yet so touching. Perhaps I was naive, but I choose to believe in the sincerity.

my wife every day will phone me just saying " Don't be too tired. learn to rest." you know, we teachers are often very tired after class. when I return home, she is always preparing a cup of tea for me. we seldom say " love", but love shows everywhere. -------------- winterose, long time no see. I haven't been here for two years. But your word have made a big difference in my life. I am now a teacher and an editor of a newpaper for high school students. I write about the techniques of writing in English. I wish to get your help. thanks. Best wishes to your family.
