What does LOVE mean?

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds,
" What does LOVE mean? "

The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:


" When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So, my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love. "
- Rebecca - age 8


" When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth. "
- Billy - age 4 ( I love this one )


"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they got out and smell each other "
- Karl - age 5


" Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your french fries without making them give you any of theirs. "
- Chrissy - age 6


" Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
-Terri - age 4 ( How true )


" Love is when my mommy makes coffe for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK."
- Danny - age 7


" Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My mommy and daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss."
- Emily - age 8


" Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."
-Bobby - age 7 ( Wow )


"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate, "
- Nikka - age 6 ( we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet )


" Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday "
- Noelle - age 7


" Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends after they know each other so well."
- Tommy - age 6


" Love is when mommy gives daddy the best piece of chicken''
- Elaine - age 5


'' Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsome more than Robert Redford ''
- Chris - age 7

" Love is when your puppy licks your face even you left him alone all day "
- Mary ann - age 4


" I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones"
- Lauren - age 4


"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down nd little stars come out of you "
-Karen - age 7 ( what an image )


" Love is when mommy sees daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross"
- Mark - age 6


" You really shouldn't say I love you unless you mean it, But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget"
- Jessica - age 8 ( I think we just assume people know we love them )

And the final one - Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to jdge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child..

The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.

Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, " Nothing, I just helped him cry"

Father, God bless all my friends in whatever it is that You know they may be needing this day! And may their life be full of your peace, prosperity and power as he/she seeks to have a closer relationship with you, Amen.

Just to clarify once again, there is nothing personal at all if I chose to stop talking to some people. I have explained my reasons before. I really don't care who you are, but I've most likely blocked or unfollowed some to keep the negative people out of my life. I'm surrounded with love and support with the few genuine people I chose to keep. I just don't see the point why other people get so jealous for one's success. It disgusts me. I thank my parents for raising me to not be that kind of individual. I was raised to be happy for others' success and I think that's how it should be for everybody. Instead of always trying to compete, why not encourage each other? My journey might be going a little slow, but I know I'm on the right path. Stop judging because it's not going to get you anywhere good in life. If you're unhappy, do something to change that. Stop looking for other people's mistakes because that won't make you any better. In spite of everything these people have done to me from calling me "immature" for kicking them out of my life because I chose not to party/smoke/ or talking behind my back, I still pray for you every night. I pray that you find your own happiness in life.

we will always be here for you kuya mikey its an honor to have someone like you. thank you for being a good and true friend to us! i hope God will always shower you more blessings because you deserve it.  you are such a nice person, very kind and down to earth! sana hindi ka magsawang tumulong sa iba!!
