"I just called to say I love you.
I just called to say how much I care.
I mean it from the bottom of my heart."
~Stevie Wonder
I love you . . . a priceless phrase that's
either overly used or not enough. We
all recognize that there are those who
are not comfortable even saying the
words. It's taken me a long time to
understand this on some level . . .
Methinks a good look-see is in order.
My guy, who's only said the magic
words maybe three times in 22 years,
goes out at o' dark thirty and shovels
the snow and cleans the car; both
massive tasks. He brings me water in
bed when I don't feel like getting up.
He builds a fire when I'm at the end
of my SAD rope. He brings everything
I need when I'm having Diverticulosis
attacks. I sooooo need to remember
these things when he pisses me off!
I watch people in the grocery store,
consulting each other, handling the
kids, and the occasional fond slap
on the butt. Neighbor of mine often
offers to shovel my walk and/or
bring me much needed groceries.
Bottom line, if we watch closely,
we'll see I love yous everywhere
we look. It's all in the translation!
here let me get that
may i help you cross the street
sending you a note
