To my mom - always! To my sisters and niece - a lot. To my dad - never, but he knows that I do.

every time i talk to my kids

This is really a good thing that sometimes we take for granted. I try to tell people that I care about most in my life that I love them everytime I see them because I know it could be the last time I see them. God does not promise man one day here on earth or even another breathe. Someone you care about can be gone just like that. Alway live each day like its your last, and don't take your loved ones for granted. Just a thought

You bet! And I mean it too!

Every single day. My boy is 13 and he still needs hugs every day when I get home. Sometimes Im actually not in the mood but I do it because I know he will be gone some day sooner than I would like. My daughter is into her full blown teenagedom. Shes gone a lot now but she loves going out with me on the odd occasion when we do. We laugh together like buddies while I make fun of her teenage ways and she lets me make fun of all of her friends without taking any offence at all. (deep in her heart she agrees...thats why!LOL)

Sometimes, not everyday. Nowadays, my pets are my family and I tell them that I love them only if I'm in a good mood.

I tell my fiancee I love her everyday, but the rest of my family does not hear it as often.

I tell my husband I love him every day. I tell my mom right before we hang up on the phone (my dad never calls), and I tell her when I leave after visiting. I also tell my little baby niece about a million times when I get to see her. It's not something I say to my sisters or dad (well, once every blue moon for my dad), or anyone else. Of course, I DO love them, but it's one of those unspoken things. We're not exactly the gushiest of families.

Fiancee, Son, Brother and Mom... all at least one time a day!

Always, several times a day. I never heard it often as a kid, so this is one thing I promised as a parent I would do often and now it is as comforting and normal and as welcoming as putting on my fuzzy slippers in the morning. My daughter will say at to me out of the blue, mommy, I need some loving, this is cuddle time for us.
