I love you...

Sometimes, those are the most difficult words to say... primarily because of the possible rejection that ensues.  I am compelled to say them... I love you.  Even when you tell me you hate me; I love you.  When you take my time for granted;  I love you.  When you just expect, because I've always given; I love you.  When you are moody; I love you.  When you are selfish; I love you.  When you argue and are stubborn; I love you.  When you make bad choices; I love you.  When you make good choices; I love you.  When you challenge me; I love you.  When you are silly; I love you.  When you make mistakes; I love you.  When you do the right thing; I love you.  When you make me laugh; I love you.  When you make me cry; I love you.  When you drive me crazy; I love you.  When I don't get to see you or we lose contact; I love you.  When you think you're too old; I love you.  When you think you're too cool; I love you.  When I see God's fingerprints in your life; I love you.  You are valuable.  You are smart.  You are beautiful beyond reason.  You are special.  You are AMAZING.  God has big plans for you.  I hope you can see it... the bright future that He is laying out before you.  Take the narrow path.  The road less traveled.  Be patient.  Be kind.  Be faithful.  Be honest.  Be thankful.  Be compassionate.  LOVE; even when no one loves you in return.  Forgive; even when it isn't deserved.  Believe; even when you can't hear, see, feel or touch.  Laugh; because it does you good, heart, body and soul.  Just never laugh at another person's expense.  Remember, we are all part of one another.  You can change the world.  Start by always following the golden rule.  Love God.  Honor your parents.  Respect your teachers.  Value your friends.  When you have questions, I will help you find answers.  When you need to talk, I will listen.  When you hug me, I will store it in a special place in my memory and bring it out on a stormy day.  And always remember that I love you!
