Did I Tell You I Love You Today?

My mom and the boys have a game they play.  My mom invented it, but the boys have taken to it like a moth to a flame.  She always says to the boys, "Did I tell you I love you today?"  and she says it every time.  In fact, she's so predictable and so regular, that the boys have started racing her to it....dashing in to greet her with this question zooming out of their mouths, eager to beat her.  It's fun.   It's loving.  It's absolutely my mother.   It's absolutely their grandmother.   And now it's my boys too.  I  hope they always remember this loving exchange.
