My dad ALWAYS ends every phone conversation with "I Love You" or "Love You", never ever does he just say bye. It means so much to me every time he says it too! Those words are powerful ones.
When Matthew told me his dad hasn't said those words to him since he was a little kid my heart was sad for him. Really sad. We all know George loves his kids, and is a wonderful dad, but there is just something about hearing those words that warm the heart.
Last time Matthew went out to see his dad, he was really sick with the cancer, but still doing ok. Well when Matthew went to leave he said "I love you dad" and George said "Ok, see ya later" . And I know that has got to hurt a little bit on Matthews end.
Well he is flying home today from visiting his dad and he texted me and told me that his dad said "I Love You" to him. I had been praying that before George goes to see Jesus that he would say "I Love You" to Matthew. I prayed hard for it and I think God answered that prayer, i dont think it was some coincidence. George said "I love you kid" to Christina and she hadnt heard those words since she was little as well. It makes me cry a happy cry everytime I think about it.
So never take those three little words for granted, please.
