The Boy Who Wanted to Show Love

There once was a little boy who grew up in a rough household. His parents seemed to always disagree on everything and they would get into arguments over the smallest things. The fights would get so bad, the whole family would be yelling at each other and the father would leave for hours. One day, the little boy woke up to see that his father was gone. The little boy ran through the house and out to the front door screaming "Daddy Where Are You?!" The little boy couldn't locate his father, but he did find a note on the kitchen table. The note that the little boy found was written by his dad and it read;
                    Dear Son:
                                   I am writing this letter to you because I will be going away for awhile. I have done some bad things that have hurt your mother and we need some separation to fix the issues. I don't know how long I will be a way from home, but I need you to promise me two things. Please help your mother when she needs it. She is a strong woman, but sometimes she needs a helping hand. Second, as you grow up to become a successful and charming man, always be loyal to your future wife. Treat her as if she is a princess. Show her how  much you love her and always be there for her. Don't run away when things get tough because it is easier to deal with issues head on when you have someone there by your side. Above all, when you tell your future wife that you love her, make sure you mean it. I am proud to call you my son. I love you and I hope to see you become the man I know you will be.
                                   -Daddy

         Tears where dripping down the boys face because he realized his father wasn't coming back. After re-reading the note, he wiped away his tears and said out loud; "I won't let you down daddy".

          Now that boy could have thrown that note away and forget everything his father said, but he didn't. The boy loved his dad so much, even if he did do something wrong. As far as I know, that boy has kept to his daddy's promise, but sometimes he has his struggles. The boy doesn't understand why people take advantage of the love he gives or even throw it away. At the end of the day however the boy understands that there are people out there who show the same type of love that he does.

           So what is the morale of this story? First, open your hearts out to everyone, even if they don't want to open up theirs. Second, cherish and care for those around you because with one mistake, they could disappear from your life. Above all, when you say "I Love You",  make sure you mean it, because love is something that you don't mess around with.
