This is my entrance to Day 900: 5 Minute Freewrite: Thursday - Prompt: words of love... Do you want to participate? Click here

Oh my God! love and its forms ...

We insist on asking for words of love and that is what is needed especially when we face death, we have to say it and listen to it.
My children, oh, my poor children. They haven't heard as much as they should, words of love from me.

I think I always thought that making them a good meal, keeping them warm and clean, was a sign of love more than enough.
While they were little, I think until the age of seven or eight, or less? I don't really remember, it was very easy for me to hug them and tell them, or do I think I never said it? I don't remember, I think I love you, it was just an automatic response to I love you that they told me.

But my three beloved children say "I love you" easily, with a feeling; that I definitely can't find in myself. They always call me mother! How beautiful you look ... I love you, either because I sent a photo to the two who live outside of me or because, in the case of my oldest son, who lives with me ... he sees me a little dressed to go to the market

Maybe, I do not know. It was enough for them, that I serve them, different foods for each one according to their tastes, and I was too worried about good nutrition. Maybe, I do not know. It was enough for them to breastfeed and care for them 24x24 if they got sick. Maybe, I do not know. It was enough for them that he give up any desire of his own to satisfy their desires. If perhaps my children have not been so "poor children" after all.

I think now that they grew up and each one took his own path. Yes, I think I would like to tell you; I love you. Maybe, I do not know. Only in my imagination, there is a belief that they need to hear it. I think it's actually me who needs to say it, rather than listen to it.

This is free writing. An exercise in Mindfulness, a monologue.
