THE LOVE LETTER
By Jessica Blau for Real Families, Real Fun
Brought to you by Studio One Networks

Putting pen to paper to say "I love you" is both a lot harder (do you
have to sound poetic?) and a lot easier (no, you don't have to sound
poetic) than it seems. It's also a surprisingly powerful way to express
feelings that makes both the reader and the writer understand what those
three little words really mean. Don't know where to begin? First, close
your eyes, meditate, and listen to all the ways and reasons you love the
people you love.

Now, write down every little thing that came to mind during your moment
of meditation. Read over what you've written, pick out a few of the most
poignant, meaningful, or even humorous things that inspire your love and
write them out into a letter. Keep in mind: You don't have to be writing
to a spouse. A "love letter" can be to a parent, a child, sibling, or
friend. And if you feel uncomfortable sending it now, you can always
save it for a special occasion-just writing down your feelings can be a
gift to yourself.

Here are some tips to help you along:

1.Write with a pen and paper. In this age of email and fax, the typed
word has become as common and effortless as a phone call. When you
hand-write a letter, you put yourself on the paper through your
particular slant of script, the paper you've chosen, the color pen
you've used. A Baltimore mother whose ten-year-old daughter spends her
summers with her father recently wrote her daughter a love letter on
black paper using multi-colored glow markers. "I wrote with the colors
of the rainbow," she explained, "because I wanted the letter to reflect
how I see her: colorful, joyous, and a font of good luck for all who
meet her."

2.Use your own voice. If you write in the same way you speak, the letter
will sound like it's coming directly from your heart. A change of
language or too-formal diction will make the letter seem as if a
stranger wrote it. You want the reader to hear your voice saying your
words.

3.Be specific. Don't tell your husband that you love that he helps out
around the house. Tell him that you love that he is willing to take the
trash out when it's ten degrees below zero, the snow is up to his knees,
and he's wearing only his pajama bottoms, a fleecy Gap vest, and your
pink, fuzzy slippers which were sitting by the back door. Tell your
daughter that some of the happiest moments in your life are when you're
in the kitchen doing the dinner dishes while listening to her practice
piano, the familiar notes of F�r Elise wafting through the air and over
again.

4.Don't worry about being romantic. Your goal isn't to romance your
spouse or children, your goal is to express to them directly and simply
how much and why you love them. If poetic or florid images come to mind,
feel free to use them, but make sure the reader will get them. In one of
e.e. cummings's most beautiful love poems he wrote, "no one, not even
the rain, has such small hands." They are compelling words, indeed, but
few eight-year olds (let alone a thirty-eight-year old!) could sense the
meaning there.
You'll most likely find that the act of writing a love letter
intensifies the very emotions you wished to express. What better way to
remind yourself, and your beloved, just how lucky you are to have each
other!

TAKE IT FROM ME:
In the hustle-bustle of life with kids you often forget the person you
are married to. I think it is important to reaffirm your love. --Alison

MOTHERHOOD QUOTES
**********************************************
"The story of a mother's life: Trapped between a scream and a hug."
- Cathy Guisewite, "Like Mother, Like Daughter"

"Motherhood is the one thing in all the world which most truly
exemplifies the God-given virtues of creating and sacrificing. Though it
carries the woman close to the brink of death, motherhood also leads her
into the very realm of the fountains of life and makes her co-partner
with the Creator in bestowing upon eternal spirits mortal life."
- President David O. McKay, Gospel Ideals

When I pick up one of my children and cuddle them, all the strain and
stress of life temporarily disappears. There is nothing more wonderful
than motherhood and no-one will ever love you as much as a small child.
- Nicola Horlick
