Three Magical Words

My DW and I have gone through a 7-year journey since a 2015 stroke. As many of you have described, we have had very difficult moments. This may not sound profound, but I have found that when we are at our most stressful moments if we just say to each other "I love you!" peace enters our world together. I have to believe that despite the challenges we share that message is heard.

I think we can all agree that there is a lot of power in those three words. It's not surprising that they could ease a bad situation. That's something we all need to hear.1

Those little words can lift the heaviest burden. The only words we are never tired of hearing. JLB thank you for sharing.

I agree, those three words are most powerful. Charles has been gone eight years and I still tell him that I love him and always will.0

My wife passed away six months today. My children and I have developed what we are calling 'The Memory Room." We have organized her study into a room filled with happy moments. We appreciate the value of this website in helping us through difficult times. I am impressed with those who have contributed their thoughts. It's been one of the most authentic websites that I have seen on the Internet, in that we are all having the same issues confronting us and it shows in the authentic comments. Thank you all!

Don't know if DW comprehends the words, but I tell her everyday. It makes me feel better to say them.
