How would you describe your love?

First off, I apologize for such a tardy post today. I spent most of the day driving around Crawford County surveying storm damage and talking to people whose homes were destroyed in the tornado Sunday night.

One of the women I talked to was not in one of the homes hit by the tornado, but her boyfriend was. She said she stayed on the phone with him the whole time, and it was almost as scary as being there.

When a loved one is in such imminent danger, it can be hard to think straight. Sometimes you just want to go out and find the other person, just to make sure they are safe. It is during these times, too, that we say all the things we've always meant to say but never could.

Take for instance the crash of United 93, one of the planes involved in the 9/11 attacks. We're told that some of the passengers' last calls were to their loved ones, just to tell them how much they love them and say good bye.

If you knew you only had one chance left to tell someone how much you love them, how would you do it? What would you say?

A smile, a hug and those 3 little words. Don't wait until the last chance to express your feelings. As an additional benefit, it'll strengthen todays feelings.
