I know I am loved because.........

[bigbutchmistie]

When I wake up each and every day there is an adorable little shihtzu who wakes me up kissing my face.

When I come home, he is there to greet me at the door with so much unconditional love.

My best friend shows me everyday how much she loves me and how much I mean to her. As do my other friends.

[girl_dee]

because She makes me, take care of me.

[Talon]

Hys relentless pursuit of me...hy won't take no for an answer...sweet, thoughtful suprises...hy shows how much he cares because hy listens to my dreams, my desires, likes and dislikes. Hy makes me feel like the priority in hys life...says he wants to give me everything that I want and deserve.>>and actually makes the repeated effort to do this....*sigh*

[bright_arrow]

Because she does not give me a bowl of ice cream, but the whole carton and a spoon :chocolate:

[ReDo]

I know hy loves me because today at work when he saw me crying trying to set up for my bereavement leave hy cried simply because I was in pain and hy knew hy couldn't fix it.

[Soft*Silver]

because he comes home between theater rehearsal and work (a half hour between them) just to unload the car of dog food and soda, because I cant lift with my shoulder....

I have learned to deeply appreciate when someone is there for me, rather than discard me because I am broken...

[JAGG]

" I saw it with my own bare eyes!" :)

[cinnamongrrl]

Because he thinks of things for me that I wouldn't even think of for myself.....

He never lets me open a door.....

He frets and fusses when I don't sleep enough....

He lets me peruse my favorite junk shop at my leisure...and without complaint..... <3

He understands my book/skirt/purse/shoe/etc fetishes.....and contributes accordingly....

He never forgets to ask if I need ice cream when he's going to the store....

He stands up for me no matter what.....

He thinks I'm wonderful,sweet and cute...even when I'm grumpy or tired...or both...

He supports my future farming plans ......even if it seems frivolous and unrealistic to some....

He tries new things just for me..... <3 <3 <3

I could go on and on and on...but he is waiting upstairs for us to try out our new bed that he THINKS I don't know that he set up....but sound travels ;) :rrose:

[sylvie]

He appreciates me, unique, different, sometimes silly.
That i have my own thoughts, dreams, hobbies & beliefs and encourages those.

He loves the skin i am in, whether i am having a "feeling fat day" or a "feeling fabulous day". He is always constant & makes me feel beautiful and comfortable in my skin, especially standing before Him.

He protects me, & makes me feel the safe - Even from my own self.

[Miss Scarlett]

I know I'm loved because I learned to love myself...

[JustLovelyJenn]

I know I am loved because... Christmas has never been so generous! I could never have dreamed of affording all the wonderful gifts my children were given! Thank you so much!

[Abigail Crabby]

I know I am loved because my friends and chosen family are here for me in the flesh and in spirit...

Yes I know I am loved ....

[clay]

I absolutely do know I am loved.....one has to have love within and be happy within one's own heart. before love & happiness from the outside finds you.
My heart has always been happy, and I love myself...unconditionally. I own who I am, I am comfortable in my own skin, and I have love abundantly...

[DamonK]

I'm told and shown every day

[girl_dee]

Because she knows my heart and how to take care of it.

[LoyalWolfsBlade]

Because she can see the smile in my eyes.

[girl_dee]

because we what real life is made out of, it won't fade because it's not a fantasy

[julieisafemme]

Because the ratties' medicine syringes were clean just to make my evening easier.

Because my ratties were so happy to see me when I got home.

Because my sister made a delicious dinner for me and the whole family.

Because my Mom smiled and laughed as my sisters and I told silly jokes.

[DapperButch]

because she didn't rain on my parade about a unnecessary (and expensive), toy I bought today!

[Kenna]

[jcisbutch]

i know I am loved because my mommy tells me so....my 2 sweet chis are always happy to see me....my niece tells me all time and im her bestie and my good buddy nattie told me just today im her luva boy lol

[PaPa]

Those close to me are supportive and carry my best interests at heart. It is shown in their daily actions and interactions with me.

[DapperButch]

...she accepts, even when she doesn't understand.

[Breezy]

His words and actions match.

[DamonK]

I'm fought for.
I'm taught lessons.
I'm defended.
I'm safe.
I'm told so every single day.
I'm shown every single day.

[girl_dee]

Because she loves me unconditionally.

[StrongButch]

She is always there for me!

[Kenna]

I know I am loved because I have a queen size bed... with LOTS of room...but his little warm self all of 16 pounds MUST be pressed up against me like he can't sleep without knowing I'm there...he's got to be glued to me no matter where I move or stretch out...

[*Anya*]

...I will feel her staring at me sometimes when I am doing the most mundane tasks.

When I turn to look at her, she will say: "You know that I adore you, don't you"?

Yes. I. Do.

[Greyson]

I know I am loved because even when our life can become routine, when I may see things quite differently then she does, when my family stays true to the patterns of my family, when I have had a rough day at the office, when I have had a good day at the office, when we find our strength and moments of peace in different spiritual traditions, when my actions do not always show the person I really am, she takes my hand, looks into my eyes, into me really and reminds me just how much she loves me. Yes, I know I am loved and I wrap myself in the warmth of knowing this.

[Breezy]

He can look me in the eyes and touch my soul with his when he does. He has the ability to reach me when others have not. He effortlessly gives me so much love, time and all of himself. He hears me through the hard stuff and participates in working it out together. He came to me without a second thought when a bad situation arose even though he had things he needed to do in his life. He is completely true to his word. He allows me to give freely in any way I so desire.

[DamonK]

She took the time to listen to me when I needed her to listen the most. She heard what I had to say and understood why I said it. She comes to me, wraps her arms around me, and tells me she loves me by her words, thoughts, and deeds. She signs to me and takes initiative in learning new words on her own. She stays patient while I teach her new words. She understand that sometimes words will escape me and I will sign, rather than speak so that I can convey what I need to. She touches every depth of me. She makes me want to be a better man. She's always in my corner, cheering me on when she knows something is difficult for me. She remembers what techniques helps me most in school and uses them, just so I can focus on what I'm needing to do. She worries about me. She knows exactly what she is to me. She owns her mistakes and apologizes. She hears the hard stuff about our past, even if it hurts her deeply. She works with me, not against me, and in the end, we present a united front in whatever situation we are facing. Oh, and she laughed when I had to vehemently sign to get something I needed to occur done.

[SugarFemme]

I know I am loved because Parker (My new Service Dog) jumped in front of me to protect me from an aggressive dog the very FIRST day I had gotten him. He had not even started his SD training yet. Now that is pure love.

[maryam]

I know I am loved because I got a snuggle (with purr!) from Psycho Kitty when her bowl was full of already full of kibble so I know she wasn't just sucking up.

Because she tells me so

Because the family is happy to see me!

[Breezy]

I know I am loved:

It is in the face of my last teen living at home and in the way I am included by her in her private inner world. Ie, her girlfriend, her feelings, etc.

He never ceases to let me know in myriad ways.

They miss me back home.

Friends call just to tell me they love me and to check up on me.

"You are like a diamond to me, because there are so many facets to you".

[Kenna]

I know I am loved because my lil monster of a spoiled doggie allows me to share the recliner.

[MsTinkerbelly]

I know I am loved.....

Omg so many reasons...but I think the biggest one is that she knows me, my secrets, my heart...and she looks at me like I hold the :moonstars:

[NorCalStud]

Because yesterday my brother called me and said
"Listen!"
:blueheels:and then I heard the music box play mom's special tune. We loved our mother. To us she was a fragile woman who wanted to dance ballet.
Instead she had us and I guess that is also how I know I am loved

[starryeyes]

She kisses my forehead every morning when she thinks I'm sleeping. But, I'm only half asleep and I can feel it :-P

[Queenie]

The way he grabs a hold of my hand while we are walking down the street.
He told me that he hated it when I was seeing my family because he had to be alone. I just found it so sweet and I felt so loved.

[Cid]

My daughter asked to spend the day with me before
she goes on a camping trip with her friends.

[LoyalWolfsBlade]

Because she has done everything possible to make a weekend with her friends children as easy on me as possible knowing they would remind me of my nephews and nieces that I miss so much since I moved. Also simply because she tells me each and every day that she does.

[girl_dee]

Because i feel it no matter what

[PoeticSilence]

I received a package from people I worked with for nineteen years (but haven't seen in two months) full of the kinds of things you send to someone you miss and care about and admire and respect. A care package. A love package. With a picture of all of these people holding a sign up that says they missed me.

[jac]

I know I am loved because she let me have the bed to myself and rest this cold/couch a little longer.... or maybe I was just disturbing her sleep.

In either case, she's a sweetheart!! :)

[Heavenleahangel]

I know I am loved because even at 6, he gets in my lap, twirls his little fingers in my hair, falls asleep and gives out that little "sigh" while in peaceful slumber.
I also know I am loved by this little man because the first thing in the morning when he opens his eyes, he comes running into my room, climbs on my bed, gives me "his kiss" and snuggles down to go back to sleep. Yeah, I am loved.....

[NorCalStud]

Because I feel more loved everyday. Everyday continued loving. I feel loved because she says things to me in her sleepiness and I feel loved because I must wake her from sleeping so close so close so close her hot tanned legs exactly diagonal.

I feel loved every minute of every hour because gaea is love, all love, and the most wonderful person walking on the earth....she emmanates love...love is HER. I could tell you all that she does. I could share every detail of every mitzvah.......and I wont....I will say that I could spend a lifetime watching her remove her toenail polish...and that that is love on a continuum.:moonstars:

[Daktari]

Because I trust those lovely people who tell me they love me.

And because I see it in his eyes...

[Miss Scarlett]

I know I am loved because...

He cancelled his plans for the weekend, drove 103 miles on Saturday to bring me soup and stayed through this morning just because I have a cold. He wanted to take care of me and help me feel better...

I love hearing about your "true♡love" relationship. You inspire many I'm sure♡

[Kenna]

I know I'm loved because two of my friends went totally out of their way (over two days) to see to it that I made it to a special doctor appointment. Neither one of them were expected to help, but they both are deeply appreciated for making sacrifices and standing by me.

[girl_dee]

i know i am loved because we tell each other, my love, my friends and my family.

i tell my loved ones that i love them constantly.

[kittygrrl]

I know I am loved because-he thinks i'm perfect for him

[Gemme]

I know I am loved. No because. I just am.

[nina03]

I'm going through one of the most difficult times of my entire life. I just finished three years of law school, during which time I also completed a second graduate degree. While I did that, fifteen people in my life died, ten of whom were close relatives, friends, or ex-lovers that I was still close to. I didn't take time to grieve because I couldn't stop school to do it. Now I'm done, and the weight of all that grief is crashing down. At the same time, I was in two romantic partnerships, a relatively new one, and a long term one of seventeen years. (We're poly and yes they knew about each other.) The new one ended unexpectedly on Saturday and the other is ending slowly, but still headed there because he's been cheating. (Cheating in poly happens when agreements are broken and/or lies are told about a new relationship.) I'm also studying for the state bar exam, which is next week.

In the midst of all this grief, stress, loss, and pain, I have been held up in love by my friends, who have given me places to stay, keys to their houses, meals, hugs, and shoulders to cry on. I belong to a community of femmes who have bent over backwards to be there and give me love and support. There are a few lovely people here on the planet who have texted me or called me regularly to check in and see how I'm doing. My parents have been amazing, kind, and present. This is one of the darkest times of my life. I keep thinking it can't possibly get any worse, and then it does. The silver lining is knowing how deeply loved I am, and my gratitude for that love. I knew I was loved before this, but it's when real trouble comes that I see how much.

[Kenna]

I know I am loved because they have stuck beside me through the biggest hardship of my life. And they talk about my homemade meatloaf and pick-eye-purple-hull peas like it's the best meal ever.

I know I'm loved by my dog when he patiently and quietly allows me to sleep in and he lays his head on my chest when I ask for a puppy hug.

I know I'm loved by dear friends (living in the next county over) who have made time for me during their busy day to call at their lunch almost every day to ask how I'm doing and truly be interested and listen.

I know I'm loved when old friends from Shenandoah beg me to come visit when I plan my next trip.

I know I'm loved when I hear my grown son say "but you're my momma".

I know I'm loved when my friend's husband says "we'll take care of that for ya" after I had been stressing out about going to the dealership alone.

I know I'm loved when I find the rare cotton candy ice cream for a certain friend who would think the world had ended if Hershey ever stopped making it.

I know I'm loved by a wonderful young man that's been in my life since he was a baby and has always given me the best bear hugs ever. I can't wait to reunite with him soon in Shenandoah.

[cinnamongrrl]

I know I'm loved because he makes sure to show me....every single day....

:praying:

[AmazonDC]

I know I am loved because she tells Me. I See it in her eyes when she looks at Me

[Mel C.]

Because she shows me...she let's me know she's thinking about me. She pays attention to what I say. She does things she doesn't want to do because they are things I like. She goes out of her way to make sure I'm happy. She checks in when she thinks something is wrong. She considers me when she's making big decisions. She cares about the things that matter to me.

[BullDog]

Because she gets me.
Because she thinks the best of me and not the worst of me.
Because she understands where we are different and meets me in the middle.
Because she tells me all the time.

[girl_dee]

because she says *GO TO BED! * :bow:

[girl_dee]

Because she gets me and knows i want to do better, always... even when i screw up.

[cinnamongrrl]

I could make lists about how he shows me he loves me......I do them mentally :)

I feel so blessed

:praying:

[Gemme]

...cuz He puts up with me with nary a complaint.

[gotoseagrl]

I know what love is.

[girl_dee]

because she simply listens, sometimes thats the most loving thing a person can do. :stillheart:

[2qt]

Because my daughters autism is borderline non verbal so she isn't able to easily express in words her emotions or feelings... But I know I am loved when she runs her fingers over my face & smiles at me & I do the same back to her.. It's her way of showing me she feels happiness & she loves me but can't get the words out & it's my way of saying I understand her without words...

[Kenna]

Because my nieces tell me and mean it.

[Gemme]

He says it, He shows it and I feel it.

[girl_dee]

Because she wants to see me again. :wine:

[Kenna]

I know I'm loved because we've got eachother's backs and we don't face hardships alone...I can rest knowing they are there for me, and I for them.

[girl_dee]

because hy doesn't hesitate to show me

[girl_dee]

because hy sends me into that space i need to be in...

[Gemme]

He hasn't skipped town yet.

:blink:

[JustLovelyJenn]

She goes out of her comfort zone to be what I need. She respects me and accepts me without wanting me to be other than I am...

[girl_dee]

because hy gives me the time that i need.............

[Kenna]

I know I am loved because I've had amazing emotional support, respect, and compassion from several of my dearest friends while I have been tasked with taking care of a different friend's business in her time of crisis.

I know I am loved because they backed me up and would stand beside me through anything.

[girl_dee]

because hy is going through a lot of rigamarole (no pun) to be sure i am safe, and any others that may benefit from Shibari!

[girl_dee]

because hy lets me process my ugly stuff without giving me a hard time about it. Sometimes i have feelings that I am not proud of, and for the very first time in my life, I can share them with another human being. It feels so good to get them up, and out.

I am so grateful for that.

[Esme nha Maire]

I know I am loved because of how friends, both offline and on, are each doing what they can to help me through the various problems I have that I find so hard to tackle alone in this awkward, difficult patch of my life.

[Kenna]

I know I am loved when his bratty Chihuahua, who used to hate me, now loves me and we cuddle for hours. He's not sweet with anyone else besides his daddy.
When you win the affection of a bratty Chihuahua, you are loved indeed.

[girl_dee]

because hy makes sure I am safe and sound.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Because she tells me so.

[Chained Daisy]

Because even though I had to pin my big fluffy boy down to give him his meds he still fell asleep by my side with his paw slung over my leg.

[theoddz]

Because it's always there, day in and day out. It hasn't, nor will it ever stop. It's there, fine as wine, sometimes bright, firey and full of adrenaline, while at other times, it's as mellow as a golden autumn day. It's weathered storms and calm seas, laughed at the rainfall and splashed in the puddles. It's the smiles and the laughter, the time spent in quiet reflection. It is in the firey flames and then the crimson embers. But always, it burns, steady and sure.

It is always knowing.

It is always there.

:heartbeat:

~Theo~ :winky::love1::rose:

[girl_dee]

because hy is very patient with me

[bright_arrow]

I know I am loved because sometimes, when we're trying to make a decision (what to eat, what movie to see, what to do on a lazy weekend day) he responds with "Whatever makes my baby happy, cause I like to see you smile."

[Genesis]

i woke up one more day...

[C0LLETTE]

I know I'm loved because I regularly get Skype messages from my little grandsons in Australia, waving at the screen and yelling "We love you, Baba"

Soon, soon, my wee boys.

[JustLovelyJenn]

I know I am loved because of the butterflies...
