I think I love you is overused.
It is different when it comes to my children. My I love you for them is a song my entire being knows by heart. I love you is not a habit or a manipulation or a ruse. My I love you is my compass, my truth.
Sam has his own ideas about contracts. I'm not clear on how or why he organized his thoughts under the heading of a Contract, and am only slightly concerned that under traits for John he came up with "tormented" (when asked what he meant, he explained, "you know, when I torment him" Terrific.). I asked him, "And what else is here under John? ARTISTIC? Did you mean AUTISTIC? and he sighed and said, "No, Mom. I mean ARTISTIC, that's what it says." Well, I guess it does.

Sometimes, we say what we mean and mean what we say. I don't know what to do, though, with words when they're the places we hide behind.

Oh, Kal. I've not read your blog in so long. And I'm way behind. I fear I missed something very important. ((I hope you are okay.)) Hugs, friend.
Oh, I love it so much when you publish Sam's writings and drawings. Tormented... i guess what brother isn't?
Hugs. Big hugs.
Here's something I mean: I love you. I do.
I also love you kids. That Sam, he's a good one. Honestly, "tormented" could probably go any list about any one of my kids. :)
Oh, KAL. I get it. And I know we've never met (though I feel certain that we MUST have crossed paths in college), but I mean this from the depths of my soul - I love you. And being trusting is a good thing. The problem does not lie there.
Always here for you. xo
Oh, your boys are so beautiful, creative and artistic. Thinking of your family and sending some virtual hugs.
i've been thinking of you, friend.
i always love reading about your boys. they are who are they are - so brilliant and happy and great and artistic and ok, a little tormented - because of your pure song of love over them.
i hope that you feel lifted by the true love of many people around you (virtually and in real life). sending love and prayers to you and yours.
Sorry my previous comment was so off the mark. I must have been rushing and did not understand what you were saying in the first half
Sending you hugs and hoping you are finding strength in all the friends and family you have around you.
