A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love."
Rebecca- age 8

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."
Billy - age 4

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."
Karl - age 5

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs."
Chrissy - age 6

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
Terri - age 4

"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK."
Danny - age 7

"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss"
Emily - age 8

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."
Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,"
Nikka - age 6 (We need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."
Noelle - age 7

"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well."
Tommy - age 6

"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore."
Cindy - age 8

"My mommy loves me more than anybody . You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night."
Clare - age 6

"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken."
Elaine - age 5

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Brad Pitt."
Chris - age 7

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."
Mary Ann - age 4

"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones."
Lauren - age 4

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." (what an image)
Karen - age 7

"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget."
Jessica - age 8

And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry"

you_ate_my_heart

You shaped my heart to make it love
And used your kisses to mold it into it’s shape
With just one kiss, you took what wasn’t yours
And within six months you ate my heart
You didn’t just eat it,
Instead you chewed the bits and pieces slowly.
You swallowed my heart whole and I couldn’t get it back.
I tried loving someone else, but I had no heart to love with
Cause you ate what wasn’t yours to eat.
The tables turned and soon I saw
You gave your heart to someone who ate it
So now you know the pain I suffered
And the time it took me to get over you.
You were kind enough to mold my heart anew
And give it back to me.
You’re getting on my good side and we’re best friends again.
But just know this,
You can have my heart to love as a friend.
I’ll let you hold it in your hand.
But please, don’t eat my heart again.


I drove on the expressway for the first time today... Awesome... He he he! It felt so good to go home and see my friends. What touched me most is how you all took me back in with open arms as if I were one of you and I had never left. It means a lot to know that there is something worth going home for.

This Friday is the homecoming football game and I can't wait to go. I'm dying to see those that I didn't get to see today.

Maybe next Wednesday a few of my sisters will come to youth group with me. It'll be a lot of fun especially since I always talk about everyone from home and FIU. I can't wait for Friday and the rest of the weekend.

It felt great to come home.

Love,
Veronica

Before I say anything about an update, I just want to say... HEY PAULA!!!

LOL, for those of you who are wondering, she's one of my coworkers that works with me on saturday... My little Chilean Airhead. LOL! J/P

Well, today was the last day of class and it was boring like crazy. The entire time I was dying to get out!

Lately I haven't been updating because of school and work, but now that things have sort of slowed down, it's easier for me to update.

Ever since I moved in with my uncle, I've sorta been enjoying the freedom I have. He's super cool and he treats me like an adult, not a kid. He even lets me go on dates and stay out late. He he he. But most of the time I just stay at the house doing homework and talking on the phone. He's been dying to hook me up with this guy that works at TCBY, but I think I'm interested in someone else...

As for college, it's a reality check and it's harder than I thought. I did a presentation and I used a lot of pictures from high school. I almost choked up in the middle because I really miss you guys (you too Paula, LOL).

Well, now I'm home in my parent's house and I can't wait till tomorrow to go back to my uncle's house to see him and my crazy Venezuelan cousin... He's the bilingual cousin, LOL! Meillany! His english is not that good but I'm helping him with it... He finally knows that Ham is Ham and not Jam like Jamon... LOL! If you have no idea what I mean, just comment and I'll tell you. LOL!

Well, I guess that's it... I have two weeks off to work and maybe stop by Dade Christian and see you guys... I can't wait until Rock The Universe... It's going to be awesome... Maybe Paula will go with me so that you all can meet my airheaded buddy. ;] I talk about you guys all the time and I miss you guys like crazy. Buenos, I'm outties. Muah! I love you alls! Bye!

Love,
Veronica
