How do I say I love you?

Perhaps this is how - not questioning an act that the whole world is against or eager to comment/gossip/critise. Not pointing out that it's a sin (socially/politically or really), not even mentioning it. Not asking 'Are you ok'?, 'How are you'? or'You take care'... - cos he knows she is ok.



My Mum and I went to Malaysia to visit my Uncle over my off days. All I can say is I feel love all around me. My Uncle did not say I Love You to my Mum, he did not even sit down and have long talks with her. No lecture nor soft words. No words, just actions.

How do I say I love you? Perhaps you can do it best without using any words. Perhaps you can start by believing and trusting your loved one.Everyone makes mistakes so do not teach them what or how to do things. Just be there for them. Like my Uncle is there for my Mum.

To be frank, I dread going to Malaysia but I have to. Cos I want to thank my Uncle for being there for my Mum. My Mum's divorce provoke many mixed reactions from many different people. But his reaction touched me. My Mum cried after the phone conversation with him. We asked her what did he say. This is what - 'Come home...' . No questions, no doubts, no comforting or kind words. Just it brought comfort to my Mum... And to me...
