Last night, I sent this to my daughter:
C - caring and considerate
L- loving, lovely and likable
A - adorable, amusing and amazingly fit
I- imaginative and interesting
R- responsible and romantic
E- energetic and empathetic
Claire replied:
"Oh mom! This just melts my heart!! Thank you!! how kind!"
It may sound like a cliché but I think that love is a flame and it's fuel is time. Time you spend for someone else, whether that someone else is there or not.
