Love is a strong word

... and a strong emotion! Strongest of all.

It's hard to say "I love you" even though you really do!! I'm just that kind of person who doesn't want to make "love" look chep, or sound cheap.

When I say "I love you" I really mean it.

When I was just a little kid, dad hugged me, then looked at me and smiled. He said that he loves me. "I love you too dad". He was quiet for a moment, hugged me again and then asked this simple question: "Do you know what love means?"

Really often I stop to think about the meaning of love. What does it really mean? When do you know that you love someone?

My answer to dad then was: "Well actually I don't know."
He laughed and simply said: "Some day you will know."

Do I? In my opinion, I'm pretty close!
