A mother of five wanted the answer to a very interesting question: "How do children know they are being loved?"<br/><br/>

Her children have all grown up. The following is what her children said to her:<br/><br/>

"You told me every morning before school: 'I love you.' and you put a note with the same words in my lunch bag."<br/><br/>

"Although you didn¡¦t satisfy all my wishes, you satisfied all my needs."<br/><br/>

"You gave me freedom to make certain decisions but I feel you by my side, giving me unlimited support."<br/><br/>

"When I woke up at 4 o'clock every morning to go to work, you have already prepared my breakfast and my lunch. From you, I learned to give unconditionally to others."<br/><br/>

"When I was young, you made me leave a party you felt was inappropriate. I was unwilling at that time but in the end you were right."
