Through the course of the day I say the words, "I love you" at least 8 to 10 times per day to my wife. I never hang up the phone without saying I love you; of course, I mean to my family. I might have said it to my car mechanic one time when he fixed something and said no charge. I tell my brothers I love them and kiss them on the cheek in public. We are not embarrassed to show our love for each other.
My son is a varsity offensive line coach for the high school he graduated from and on occasion when he needs me to drop him off at school in front of his players, he gives me a kiss on the cheek and tells me, "I love you" -- big tough coach and a loving son.
My daughter was a cheerleader in high school. When we dropped her off, I would tell her, "I love you," and wait until she got close to her friends, then stick my head out of the car and yell it again. Embarrassing your kids is one of those great joys in the world. She always looked back and through gritted teeth would say the words, "I love you."
Sam is my future daughter-in-law and is getting used to our 'I love you household'. Not all people verbalize their emotions. She shows us in her sweetness and thoughtfulness, which is very special. She gets closer every day to uttering those awesome words.
My in-laws are two of the greatest people you will ever meet. I think of them as parents. They have always made me feel like a son. Not everyone loves their in-laws. I do and I tell them I love you.
Let's see, who else...I will answer my friends who post those nice comments on my blog and tell them I love you. My brother-in-law is one of the sweetest guys you will ever meet and he gets an I love you. I tell my dogs and cats, "Daddy loves you." Okay, I know, who does that? I think lots of people will -- I hope. I will tell my Titleist driver when I hit the ball straight down the fairway, you guessed it, I love you.
I never miss the opportunity to use the words and the point of all this is no point at all. For all of you who are nice enough to read my blog, I just wanted to say......well, you already know.
