I stumble upon this beautiful article about love. OK, article about love is overrated but this one is about kids 4-8 years old describes love - and instead of cheesy, it gets me as sincere, naive, honest and funny. As I read along, my eyes get stuck on this :
“You really shouldn’t say ‘I love you’ unless you mean it.
But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.”jessica – age 8
Well, this kid is very perceptive, I should say.
In our daily routine, we often take things for granted, we often forget to say to the ones we love how much they mean for us. We often take their presence for granted, and we get used to them being around us. But what if somehow, someday, they suddenly stop being around? That someday God decides to no longer prolong their presence in our life? It will be very sad and ironic, if we never let the ones we love know about the fact that we love them, that their presence mean the world for us. That they are irreplaceable and worth the whole universe. In fact, our universe somehow exist because of them :)
Text your dad. Call your mom. Email your siblings. IM your cousins and relatives. Contact your dear friends, near or far. Kiss your significant other. Hug your pets,
And tell them how much you love them :)
