You Are Loved

This Facebook memory is very short but so important to remember—You are loved. Even when you don’t feel it, know that you are loved. There are so many people who truly love you. Not for what you have, or what you can do or give. No, they love you for being YOU.

Facebook Memory: January 19, 2023

Never ever doubt that YOU are loved.♥️

My mom used to end every call with “I love you.” One day, one of my younger sisters asked me why. She thought it was something we (me, my mom, and my sister right below me) did out of habit. However, that was not and is not the case. My mom started it when my sister and I were little girls. She said that we should never leave each other without saying “I love you” because we never knew if that would be our last time saying it. So when we say it, we actually mean it. It is something I also do with my children. We never leave each other or end calls without saying “I love you.” Now that my mom is gone, my younger siblings say it too.

So, when I end my posts with some variation of “I love you,” including the hearts, know that I am not just saying it out of habit. No, I truly mean it.

Listen, I love you and I don’t even know you. I love you because God loves you. I love you because you deserve love. I love you because you matter. I love you because I want what’s best for you. I love you because I want you to thrive. I love who you are now and who you are becoming. I love you just for being YOU. Not sure if you heard me but I LOVE YOU!❤️

Sending you soooo much love. Wishing you nothing but peace and joy.
