It’s amazing how fast life happens after having kids. There is so much truth to the phrase the days are long but the years are short. So knowing what matters most in life is so important. More than ever I try to sit back and appreciate the little moments, especially knowing when “I Am Loved!”
In the spirit of Helzberg’s “I Am Loved” story, everyone deserves to know they are loved. In the past year I have gotten to see just how much I’m loved and appreciated by my family. Every month or two my husband travels for work, and with 3 kids five and under it can be difficult to say the least. It’s gotten a little easier every time he would leave, but I have noticed more and more my oldest wanting to help out and be on her best behavior. It’s like she senses my stress and she now is always asking to help. Plus my days are filled with unexpected hugs and “I love you”, all of which rarely happens when my husband is home! But most importantly, she becomes much more engaged with me and what I need her to do, this has meant so much to me.
If your not familiar with Helzberg’s “I Am Loved” story, here’s a little info:
When Barnett Helzberg Jr. proposed to Shirley Bush in 1967, the love he felt sparked a thought…everyone should feel like this. Everyone should feel loved. This wholly romantic notion famously inspired the “I Am Loved” lapel button along with ads featuring Helzberg Jr.’s own words, “Buy her a diamond or give her a button, but in any case, tell her she’s loved.” People all over the U.S. and even around the world started sharing their love with these free buttons. They’re still available today, just ask. See more about the Helzberg story here.
