My T has never said the words in order "I love you" but she has said she feels love for me and that she has a special place in her heart for me. She signs her emails "Love T" all the time now. I had been signing mine "Love" also but lately I've been leaving it off. I feel good when I see it written to me, but I now think I'd feel weird if she said "I love you." I know how she feels about me and it's good enough!
