One of the ladies from church called me this afternoon. I am chair of Christian Ed and we are bringing back perfect attendance awards this year. We caught up on everything, talked about Rally Day, and at the end, she told me "I love you Robin". I, without thought, said it back.
But when I got off the phone, I did think about it. My heart had jumped in and answered back, and reminded my brain, some things are so simple and pure, you don't need to think about them.
I don't say "I love you" enough. When I do some days, it sounds like a trained response. I love you... I love you too. But maybe, it is more than that. It is my heart speaking, without reserve, without the twisted thoughts that make this so hard to say, without myself protecting me from hurt and rejection.
I love you too Gayla.
