i just finished reading an Email my mom sent me
and i thought it was the sweetest email ever. It was about a couple of people going around to 4 year olds to 8 year olds and asking them what love meant. here are some of what the children said:
'When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore.
So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.'
Rebecca- age 8
Another: I think this one is cute!
'Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other..'
Karl - age 5
another one:
'Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.'
Danny - age 7
Two more
'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.'
Noelle - age 7
and my personal favorite. This boy didnt explain what love is he showed it!!
A four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.
Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said,
'Nothing, I just helped him cry'
