Why does my logo say “Did anybody tell you they loved you today?”
My father used to ask me:
“Did anybody tell you they loved you today?”
It didn’t matter what my response was,
he would always respond with
“I DO”…
It was a small gesture,
from someone who didn’t always know what to say
or how to strike up an important conversation.
The point was that he cared enough to try.
It was his way of opening the door to communication and letting me know he cared and that he was there if
I wanted to talk, about anything…
His words and intentions made me the person I am today. I never want to miss a chance to tell the people
in my life that I love them.
It rubs off…
I think I balled my eyes out the first time my youngest son came to me UNPROMPTED and said
“Mommy, did anybody tell you they loved you today?, I do”
My point is, we never know what impact our words and actions will have on other people.
I bet my father never imagined that his simple little phrase would effect me the way it has.
My father isn’t here anymore, but I hear his sweet words echoed every time I ask someone:
“Did anybody tell you they loved you today?”
Give it a try, you never know whose day you’ll make, or whose life you may effect with just a few simple words…
Love,
