Take the time

I think if I could only choose one person it would have to be my other half! He knows I love and appreciate him but day to day life and problems means you kind of don't express that enough , kids take priority and things can slide a little! He does know but it would be nice to remind him! I would say I'll do it in the morning but he will be leaving for work in 4 hours so I will probably do it tomorrow night! xxx

It would have to be my wife. She has put up with so much from me over the past year. She has nursed me when I was sick. Held me when I cried because I saw no point in going on. Bullied me when I wouldn't go to the doctor. Come with me to those appointments. Supported me when I decided to quit work. Let me off my chores when I got too grumpy to do them and did them herself. Made me face my demons, but stood ready to catch me if I collapsed. Not once complained about me wanting to wander off and spend time either on my own or with other people, but not with her. Has never demanded anything of me since I became a stay at home husband. Buys me surprise gifts when she is out, but expects nothing in return. Organised our daughter's move to university because I couldn't face it But most of all, because she has unconditionally loved me. I tell her that I love her at least 10 times a day and I wish that there was some stronger word that I could use to tell her how I feel. (and she lets me flirt outrageously at times on here without censoring me at all. Not that she ever reads what I write here and she's not a myLotter.) So my exact words would be "I love you more now than I have ever done in our 21 years of marriage. Thank you for being you." In fact I think that I will say just that to her tonight when I go to bed. Thank you for the idea.

It would be my parents..I would tell them how much I love them and Thanks them for raising me up and for bringing me into this world.. I will let them know that I am very proud that they are and would always be my parents. I love them more than anyone else in these world and my love for them goes way beyond.

To my boyfriend: I love you so much. I know I dont tell you often enough or I get so wrapped up in day to day tasks that I forget to tell you just how much you mean to me. You are number one in my life and always will be.

I would tell my daughter (you know who you are) that I love her very much and want to thank her for being there for me during these past few weeks when I needed her the most. Love you now and always Mum.

It would be my son whom I so many times forget to say thank you when he fixes my computer when I run into trouble and picks up my prescriptions on his way home from work and reachesthings I cannot reach. I would tell him how much I appreciate all the things he does to help me and that I love him so much and he would squirm and act like a teenager but he is not He is forty nine god love him. He nevers says I love you in so many words but his actions speak volumns to me. I probably would have spent hundreds of dollars on computer repairs had he not been my computer repair person. And by the glow on his face when he meets me in some unexpected place I know he cares for his elderly mom. I am so sorry that my husband and my son never had a real bond between them. It has always made me feel sad but I could never mend the problem between them.

How true that is, we don't appreciate someone or miss them till they are gone, until then we naturally, and sadly take them so much for granted. I would tell my mum how much I appreciate her, how much she has done for me, provided a roof over my head, supported me and who else would put up with me, she has put up with my grumpiness, grouchiness and supported me through my depression and gave me the space I needed, so thanks mum, you're one in a million xxxxx

This is something I have been working on!!! I out of the blue lately will send my kids an text message... "I love you" I use to always tuck them in bed... then go do a couple things and send them one also... just a little extra lovin at night so they have very sweet dreams!

Well, I would choose my wife and my parents that they are greatly appreciated. My wife has been there always for me. During the ups and downs. There was a time in my life that I felt that everyone was hurting me and that I was alone in my quest. But my wife stayed with me and continued to lift my soul up high. My parents have also guided me and supported me in my endeavors. I cannot ask for more. So these are the people that I appreciate so much and I would never hesitate to say thank you for all the they have done.
