Sometimes there are times in our lives when we get so busy that we forget to tell people that we love them. We are so caught up in the world around us that it is like we forget those so very important three little words all together. But what we have to remember is that there are so many ways that we say I love you without actually saying, "I love you", you just have to listen for things like these:
- “I’m here for you.”
- Watching a movie that you hate just because you know its their favorite.
- “Call me when you get home safe.”
- Showing up to support them at their huge game.
- “I saw this and it made me think of you.”
- Having their favorite meal ready when they get home.
- “Do you want to talk about it?”
- Holding their hand.
- “Tell me about your day.”
- Staying awake just to talk to them.
- Sending them an “I’m thinking of you” text.
- “I’m proud of you”
- Visiting them at work.
- Helping them study for a test.
- Reminding them that everything will be okay.
- “Make sure you get some sleep.”
- Holding them close.
- Making sure they make time for themselves.
- Letting them choose the radio station in the car.
- Being a shoulder for them to cry on.
So if you are ever worried that you are not loved, take a minute and listen to the people around you. If you hear or experience any of these things, remember that even if someone doesn't come right out and say it, you are loved.
