Say it again.

We all need to hear it often.

Did I say it as often as I should have? Or, could have?

We, none of us, believe we are loved. We need to hear it often.

I love you, I would say, to Burt. I truly did, yes, do, love him.

Often, he’d raise an eyebrow in disbelief or in recognition?

It was a fact I needed to prove to him. I said I love you everyday. I said I love you many times each day.

I believe I never said it enough.

Now, that Burt is gone, it is with gratitude that I still say I love you, everyday.
