Every Chance I Get

Telling your love ones "i love you" as often as possible is very important. This does not have to be just verbal, other expressions of "i love you" are also important.

I tell that to my nieces all the time, as they grow older they learn to appreciate it all the time!

I tell my partner and sons regularly. My eldest will say it back. My partner will say it but says it loses meaning if said too often. My youngest tends to grunt, if any response at all! My youngest doesn't like me saying I'm proud of him either. He tells me I've already said it so I don't need to say it again. He has also been less than impressed when receiving certificates when they're for the same thing over again.

We parents know the reality of loss, grief and memories in a way that our kids don't yet. I think it's great that you follow your heart to say "I Love You" often, even if your son doesn't really get it now.

I tell him as often as I can too....and I will tell him every day of his life...even when he is grown.

Children may not really understand the meaning of a word. Their minds are not long. They only think about today, not about tomorrow.

So I think with my children, I always have that fear of leaving this world and not showing them enough to say that I love them with all my soul, all parents are like that.

My husband is the same way; but I keep telling him because he may not be here tomorrow.
