I love you. Three simple words. Put them together and you have the ability to change the world one person at a time.
I would have a difficult time remembering a day when I didn't hear I love you. I am pretty sure that my Sweetie and I have told each other every day for the last forty some years that we love each other. Add to that the Kirby Offspring years and with four children to accompany us on our journey, there were probably a million other I love you's intermingled along the way. It is a fact that The Kirbarosa is filled with love and we speak it's name.

Now, somebody out there must be thinking that by professing our love for one another every day that we must be taking all this lovey-dovey stuff for granted. You might be thinking that by saying I love you so much that it loses its luster, its pizazz, its heartfelt meaning. Actually, it's just the opposite. We feed off of the energy that gets spoken. It fills us with acceptance and the knowledge that even though the world has gone mad we can go forward knowing that no matter what happens we are loved. And more importantly, we are loved for who we are.
Not long ago I made a joke on Social Media (Surprise) that it was 11:00 a.m. and nobody had told me that they loved me yet. In response, one of my pals told me that nobody had told them yet either and that it had been a long time since anyone had told them that they loved them. I'll be honest, I had never thought about that before. You see, I had been born into a family where I heard I love you every single day. And then, Mrs. Planet Kirby and I have been sharing and speaking the love every day since our first Rockets Red Glare kiss as teenagers right on up to today.
I'm not sure what happened to me that day but once I realized that there was an I love you deficiency in the world I became a changed man. I asked God how it could be that someone could go an entire day without someone saying I love you to them. I just didn't understand. And I think that on that day God changed my heart and my vision. I didn't see people just as people anymore. I saw them as my family. You see, within the confines of my family I found and shared love. We spoke the language of I love you.
And so I have become a love machine. I share the love wherever I go. And if I know you, and sometimes, even if I don't know you, you are going to get a hug and an I love you. Now you might be thinking how in the world can you tell someone you don't know that you love them? It's easy. I try to see them as God sees them.
What I've found is this... The more love I give away, the more love I have. In this life I have been blessed. I've been surrounded by love and I grew up hearing I love you. So many people in this world are lonely. They are beaten down by the world every single day and for some, when they come home there isn't anyone there to tell them I love you and to hug them and let them know that everything's going to be ok.
My posts on my favorite social media network are full of peace and love. Not a day goes by that I don't say I love you to someone. Someone asked me once if Mrs. Planet Kirby gets jealous of me telling others that I love them; to which I replied, "No, she knows that I love her the most." And I do.
I love you. I think that all too often we underestimate the potential and the power of these words to change someone's life.
Be well.
