Putting my children to bed tonight and my Kaiti says "momma I like you" and kisses my hand.
Is that better than I love you? In many ways I believe it is. Love comes many times in the form of unspoken allegiance as in well she's my aunt so I have to love her, but to like someone - truly like that person - means that you enjoy being with them, they brighten your day, they make you feel good and you CHOOSE to be around them. I want my children to like me - in all my weirdness because that means they choose me and that's the best feeling in the world!
