Liam shows me and tells me that he loves me.
He shows me by leaning on me and sitting close, especially when something important is happening in his life.
He says, “I love you,” at least six times before I leave for work in the morning.
He shows me by hugging me at least six times before I leave for work in the morning.
He tells me by asking if there is anything he can do for me.
He shows me by kissing me on the cheek.
He asks me if I am happy.
He shows me by sometimes kissing me lightly on the lips; he doesn’t always remember that this is not something a 14-year-old boy does with his mom.
I thank him and remind him, then hug him tight to let him know that he will always be my little boy.

What a lovely image of you and your son. Our sons will always be our little boys, even after they are grown.
Showing is always more meaningful than just saying the words. Liam has the perfect combination of saying and showing. How wonderful for both of you.
So sweet! Such great moments of Liam sharing his love with you!
As a mother of 4 daughters, I always appreciate perspectives from mothers of sons. Liam is clearly a wonderful young boy with such a others-focused spirit! Keep hugging him tight – the years slip by far too quickly.
So sweet and so important to remember how others tell and show us what they feel.
Love how Liam shows and tells you all about his love. Sweet boy.
What a sweetie. Enjoy the love and attention!
