James, this really resonated. I grew up in a close, loving family that did not outwardly share emotions. Of course I knew I was loved but my parents didn't say I love you. When my son was born, I vowed that he would know every day how much he was loved, becasue I would show him and tell him. That carried over into telling my againg parents I loved them. Today, my young adult son and I don't hang up the phone or go to bed without saying I love you.

Tracy, I find the more I say I love you, the more I say I love you, especially to close friends after interactions. And I’ve found some of them telling me in future interactions before I can express it to them. ❤️. Thank you for reading and commenting.
