Hi,
As always... I've been treasure hunting... Actually this treasure was sent to me by ReaSA, Emile's mom... It was so beautiful I just had to share it...
What does Love mean?
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?"
The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:
"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

You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."
Billy - age 4
________________________________________________
"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
________________________________________________
"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs."
Chrissy - age 6
________________________________________________
"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
Terri - age 4
________________________________________________
"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
________________________________________________
"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more.
My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss"
Emily - age 8
________________________________________________
"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."
Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,"
Nikka - age 6
(we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)
________________________________________________
"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."
Noelle - age 7
________________________________________________
"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well."
Tommy - age 6
________________________________________________
"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.
He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore."
Cindy - age 8
________________________________________________
"My mommy loves me more than anybody
You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night."
Clare - age 6
________________________________________________
"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken."
Elaine-age 5
________________________________________________
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford."
Chris - age 7
So, love means being able to lie with a straight face... sorry yall couldn't resist....
________________________________________________
"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."
Mary Ann - age 4
________________________________________________
"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones."
Lauren - age 4
________________________________________________
"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." (what an image)
Karen - age 7
This girl watches a lot of cartoons...
________________________________________________
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross."
Mark - age 6
Now who explained that to him????
________________________________________________
"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget."
Jessica - age 8
I love this one...

And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge.
The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.
The winner was 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"

So with that... this final one being what I absolutely hoped yall would read... I want to thank you for helping me cry. Love you... don't forget... Elissa

I\'ve read this before...it\'s cute
Love is when I think about coming here and it makes me feel better.....
.............. and then being here is even BETTER than that.
We are never as scattered as we think we are E.
Because we have each other........
to be our glue.
Elissa,
You\'ve helped me, also. Please don\'t forget that. It goes both ways!
Have a good one.
Betty
I\'m sending this to all my email buddies this Am
Ok, my love is....when someone still says you\'re pretty when you get up in the morning and you hair is sticking straight up and you have morning mouth....now, that\'s love. Haven\'t had that in awhile.
Also, Love is when your friend says you are pretty when you have gained alot of weight and not feeling so hot about yourself. Love is acceptance in a big way, love is still loving a person even though they are crabbey over losses. Love is bringing juice to a person who is ill even though you could caught what they have. Love is doggie kisses and kitty purrs. Love is a moment when you \"feel\" the presence of a lost loved one and \"just know\" they are with you.
There\'s my contributions,Love,Betty
Here\'s some additions to my love is contributions:
Ok, Bettys love is contributions are....
When someone still says you\'re pretty when you get up in the morning and you hair is sticking straight up and you have morning mouth....now, that\'s love!
Also, Love is when your friend says you are pretty when you have gained a lot of weight and not feeling so hot about yourself.
Love is acceptance in a big wayloving someone who has hurt you or has caused you pain, then, forgiving them for that hurt or pain.
Love is still loving a person even though they are crabby over losses.
Love is bringing juice to a person who is ill even though you could catch what they have.
Love is doggie kisses and kitty purrs.
Love is a moment when you \"feel\" the presence of a lost loved one and \"just know\" they are with you in spirit.
Love is feeling the presence of a loving God, who you arent real sure of, and He loves me anyways.
Love is when people enter your home, when it isnt quite up to what youd like it to be, and even stay and watch a movie with you anyways and dont mention the messiness.
Love is someone mowing your grass when you cant physically do it.
Love is just being with friends who know your heart and allow you the space just to be who you are and where you are at in life.
Love is learning a new craft or art and loving it!
Love is wearing your favorite color and smelling your favorite flowerthis is a self love thing.
One last, love is:
Love is saving quarters so your friend can do her wash....Will does this for me since I need to use the laundromat.
I do wish we all would add a love is to this...
I like best your love is a moment when you \"feel\" the presence of a loved and \"just know\" they are with you in spirit. That\'s actually a double hitter... Your loved one is showing you the love and so is God by giving you the ability to \"feel\" it.
Love is forgiving and being forgiven when you hurt someone you love and you both recognize the injury but go on loving anyway. That was my mama\'s kind of love.
This is really cute and enjoyed reading it thanks
Love is all of us working together to help each other through the hard times in our lives.
