Three favorite words

As a mom there are 3 words I can hardly wait to hear my kids say to me for the first time and each time after.
Each time I hear...I LOVE YOU...my heart melts!
To me it is important to let others know they are loved. Each phone conversation I have with family, I always end with I LOVE YOU. Every night at bedtime, to my kids and my husband I say, I LOVE YOU. Even as my husband leaves for work or to go to the store or anywhere, or as my son leaves for school, the last words I always try to remember to say are I LOVE YOU!
I want them to know that if something happend to them or me those would be the last words we might have to hold on to.
So, to hear my kids frequently tell me that they love me, makes me smile!
No matter how much my kids mess up, I will always love them...NO MATTER WHAT!
I have come to realize that no matter how much I mess up (which is OFTEN...I cannot figure out this parent thing!), they will always love me!
That is why my 3 favorite words are...I LOVE YOU!
