The 4 letter word


Is the word Love used too loosely or not enough at all?  It's a hard question to answer since we as people do not say the word nearly enough to the people who deserve it.  How many people do you think heard that word enough growing up, and if they heard it more would they be different people?  When I was growing up, I only told girlfriends that I loved them and never told my family because I just assumed  since they were family that they knew I did.  Was it because I was afraid to tell them?  Alternatively, was it just because I didn't know how since it was never expressed to me?  I think we as people in this day should express Love to our Family, Friends, and most of all our Children a lot more.  I hear people all the time claim how they don't use the word Hate since it is a strong word.  However, if Love is the opposite of Hate and the word hate is so strong, Why don't we say Love because it's a strong word?  I try to make it a point as a parent to tell my son that I Love him everyday so that he doesn't have to assume.  As a good son I try to tell my parents when I can because they should know as well.  Fathers we should make sure that  we tell our Daughters all the time so that they don't jump in bed with someone just because he was the first man to say he loves her.  Let's not let our sons grow up not knowing how to tell people how he feels because his father was too macho to do so.  The word Love is a very powerful word, and I think we should use the word more freely when speaking to the people who matter most in our heart.
