To me, love is giving your time to someone.

Some people feel a need to always give something as a gift to express how much they love someone. That doesn’t have to be the case. There are some things that can’t be bought.

Gifts of Time

• Visit them. If you live nearby, see if you can at least spend a couple of hours or a day with a loved one occasionally. It’s hard to replace face to face’s power. I used to take my grandmother to the craft store to pick up some knitting material for her. It gave us an opportunity to spend some one on one time and we included a meal with the errand.
• Call them. If you’re limited in your travel budget and you still want to stay in contact with your family and friends, consider calling them. Set aside a time where you can call your loved one, completely uninterrupted.
• Send a letter. Emails are convenient, but sending a personal handwritten is well worth the effort. When we moved several states away, my grandmother used to get letters from us as we grew up and she kept all of them.

Please take some time in your schedule and show your loved ones how much you appreciate them.
