When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.

Emily - age 8
Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him to make sure the taste is OK.

Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen. (WOW!)

During my piano recital , I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore.

My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.

I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.

Karen - age 7
When you love somebody your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you. (what an image)

Mark - age 6
Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross.

Jessica - age 8
You really shouldn't say "I love you" unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.
