I don't think I have ever given six stars to a shorty, but this one is great. How long did it take you to come up with that little gem? That should win the contest.

    Thanks so much Paul!!! I rarely give six stars to anything short, but this came to me one night, complete. I doubt it will win - there are always excellent ones in such contests, but I value your thoughts about it. Six stars is a wonderful, valued, and very encouraging gift!

One hundred percent agreeance.
Sad to say, I was nearly a lifetime learning it. I never heard it a single time from my dad, and saying the words to my kids was difficult - how to fit it into conversation, whether to say it as a reward for achievement, or ... I just couldn't figure it out.
But I finally did.
Blessings.

    I am glad you did. It's hard to overcome one's childhood issues. Neither of my parents ever said it, which was what prompted this one. But I made sure my own kids heard it. Thanks so much for reviewing.

I think not saying these words is a big regret for some people. My parents never told me they loved me ever and I bear them no grudge but I made sure that my children were told that they were loved every day and it makes such a difference. I changed the status quo and I loved your words here Wendy, love Dolly x

    Yes, my parents were the same - so I also made sure I told mine all the time. There is no substitute for hearing those three words. Thank you so much for reviewing!
