Then I got this amazing survey that was conducted in a school where they asked the children what they thought that real love was all about...I melted with the answers... lol Children are indeed so innocent and we learn from them more than we can even imagine...
For those who =USE the word love,
even kids have a better
understanding than adults. A group
of professional people posted this
question to a group of 4 to 8 year
olds: "What does love mean?" The
answers they got were broader and
deeper than anyone could have
imagined.
1. When my grandma got arthritis,

she couldn't bend over and paint
her toenails anymore. So my grandpa
does it for her now all the time,
even when his hands got arthritis
too. That's love.
Rebecca - age 8
2. When someone loves you, the way
they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is
safe in their mouths.
Billy - age 4
3. Love is when a girl puts on
perfume and a boy puts on shaving
Cologne and they go out and smell
each other.Kari - age 5
4. Love is when you go out to eat
and give somebody most of your
French Fries without making them
give you any of theirs.
Chrissy - age 6
5. Love is what makes you smile
when you're tired.
Terri - age 4
6. Love is when my mommy makes
tea for my daddy and she takes a
sip giving it to him, to make sure
the taste is OK.
Danny - age 7
7. Love is when you kiss all the
time. Then when you get tired of
kissing, you still want to be
together and you talk more.They
look gross when they kiss.
Emily - age 8
8. Love is what's in the room with
you at Christmas if you stop
opening presents and listen.
Bobby - age 7 (wow!)
9. If you want to learn to love
better, you should start with a
friend who you hate.
Nikka - age 6
10. Love is when you tell a guy you
like his shirt, then he wears it
everyday.
Noelle - age 7
11. Love is like a little old woman
and a little old man who are still
friends, even after they know each
other for ages
Tommy - age 6
12. My mommy loves me more than
anybody. You don't see anyone else
kissing me to sleep at night.
Clare - age 6
13. Love is when a woman sees a man
smelly and sweaty and still says he
is handsomer than Brad Pitt
Chris - age 7
14. Love is when your puppy licks
your face even after you left him
alone all day.
Mary Ann - age 4
15. When you love somebody, your
eyelashes go up and down and little
stars come out of you.
Karen - age 7
16. Love is when my sister sees my brother in law
on the toilet and doesn't think
it's gross.
Mark - age 6
17. You really shouldn't say "I
LOVE YOU" unless you mean it. But
if you mean it, you should say it a
lot. People do forget and stop believing it.
Jessica - age 8
And the winner was a 4 year old
child whose next door neighbor was
an elderly man who had just lost
the woman he loved all his life.
When the child saw the
man cry, the little boy went over
into the man's yard and climbed on
top of the man's lap and just sat
there.
When the boy's mother asked him
what he'd said to the neighbor, the
little boy said,
"Nothing, I just helped him cry."
I am amazed !!!!!!! So...in this case I am happy they missunderstood my reasons to be sad, because their messages bright up my day lol :) These are THE loves of my life...EVEN when after I work 16 to 17 hours, I get home and they "TELL" me to drive their friends home or arouns and I BEG to please let me sit down and they tell me that I am "The most selfish person that They have ever met", or when I go do my radiation treatement, "I get weak and feel just like lay down and they grab the car keys and tell me, that since I am free of commitments I can drive around and go for a ride. And when I say NO...They call their friends and complaint about me being so self centered lol. And still every single day that I am alive , I love them more and more and can't imagine my life without their tantrums and complaints... Because when I look at them I see all the perks and blessings of having Sara & Jessica in my life and have the honor of calling them MY DAUGHTERS. :)
YEP... THESE ARE TWO OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE MY HEART :
