Is there someone in your past, whom you wished you said, "I love you"?

My first thought was the alternative view of what saying "I love you" can mean. My mind immediately went to three people who will never know how they 'saved' me. Two teachers and one Chief of Police who bent over backwards to correct the damage done by my mother. I owed them for aiding my self-esteem, without which I would not have survived my school years at home. I thought of them often, but never expressed the love that stayed with me for my lifetime. It is one of my deepest regrets.
 

My Mom. In our family, you just didn't express feelings like that. We never kissed or hugged. But, I always felt loved and I believe my actions showed her that I loved her too. And, I wrote it on greeting cards. But, I still regret that I never said it.

She knows! You've opened your heart to vulnerability and to FEELING! She knows how you feel!
Strong thoughts with emotion are a thousand times more powerful than words.
 
I always told the people who matter the most that I love them and that was my mother and father. They were the people that I was closest to and boy do I miss them.
