21 Ways to Say I Love You to Your Child
Lately, I’ve been reading a lot about how mothers want their children to remember them. I’ve read a lot of answers people gave when asked: How did your parents show love?
Of course, I then started to consider how I want Jock and Luke to remember me. Not that I hadn’t thought of it before, but I actually wrote down my hopes for how I want my children to remember me when they leave my home. Just writing them down has already set me on a more intentional path.
When you think of your mom what are the first things that come to your mind? Are there characteristics for you to emulate?
Have you thought of how you want your kids to remember you? Our children aren’t as hard on us as we are on ourselves. Children really do give us a lot of grace, and they bounce back pretty quickly from most incidents we wish we could have a do-over on.

Footnote:
I want to mention 2 other ways people repeated throughout my research.
