Excerpt from the "Red Diary", dated: July 16, 2008 + additional observations dated: today!
It never ceases to amaze me how rarely people tell their loved ones; "I love you"! and hug each other! Something has happened in families to pull them apart. It's like a lot of strangers sharing the same home.
When Donovan and I were still together and we were still in California, about 10-12 years ago, I called a family meeting because, although we were all very good at hugging & professing our love, earlier that day you & your dad went to the store without saying 'goodbye'.
So, in this meeting, we all agreed that each and every time we left the house no matter for how long, we swore to always give a hug and say, "I love you"!
If anything were to happen while we're away from each other, at least we'd always know the last words spoken were: "I Love You"!
Donovan is long gone from our lives, but you and I had continued this promise to each other. I think it's a very important tradition and pray you keep it always in your life!
I, personally, never get tired of saying or hearing it! BTW:
I LOVE YOU, BUBBA!!!
I found the following when searching for pix about relationships, they are most definetly words to live by!
And another "Pic" I found:
