I'm probably not the first person to express this wish. I just wish that love was more of an "action" word. I wish more people understand what love means? And not simply in a theoretical sense. When someone says that they love me, I don't expect them to walk out of my life without a word, when I've spent hours talking to them, listening to them....helping them.... I don't expect a relative who should have provided a safe shelter for his girl to say "we love you, at Christmas" ....
