Few things bring me so much joy as the feeling of truly being loved. There are a few things that stand out.
Of course there is the love between my husband and myself. ~Having my husband write me romantic letters, detailing how he felt when he asked me to marry him and recalling fun happy memories of us together, is really high on the feeling special and loved list. Having him wrap his arms around me when we are reunited in the airport is probably one of the top ones.
Mother hood brings other opportunities for that glow of love. My daughter made me a valentine and told me "I lub you too Mommy." having her sing happy birthday to me in a restaurant or "I lub you I lub you" in the car is pretty cool too. I love the fact my kids like to brush my hair and have tickle fights. i love reading books with my son and playing dolls with my daughter. I love being the person they run to when they get thurt or have exciting news.
Few things are as great as the unconditional love of a child.....It's especially noticable that moment when a child wraps her arms around your neck and squeezes as hard as her little arms can.
Few things are as great as the unconditional love of a parent who realizes her daughter is using her shoulder to wipe her nose.
