Love Is...

Dear Daughter,

There is a saying about Love that people like to quote, saying that Love is “never having to say you’re sorry.”

Well, as you know, your Papa likes to think about things and often has different views from other people, and this is no exception.

I believe, instead, that “Love is being able to say you’re sorry.”

You know how Papa always says that there are two ways to say sorry. One means that “I’m sorry that happened, but I didn’t do anything.” The other is when we have done something that hurts another and we can simply say, “I’m sorry.” Both are important in our lives, and the ability to say you’re sorry when you know that something is wrong is not a weakness, but one of the greatest strengths you can ever possess.

I Love You,

Papa
