Three Words

There are three words that make me tear up every time I hear them. At least from one special person.

Momma.

As you might now, mom has difficulty speaking sometimes. Her MS has affected her cognitively and gives her a hard time saying and coming up with words.

Last night, as I was hugging and kissing her goodnight, I said "I love you" like I always do, and she said it back. She didn't know how much it meant to me, but I almost cried because it's been a long time since I've heard that from her. Sometimes you just need a little validation put behind actions. I believe words are powerful, very powerful. I'm so happy I still have the opportunity to have sweet little moments like these.
