SARNIA Auto Centre www.tirecraft.comw.ti i c f by Eileen Cade-Edwards, London • from Daytripping May-June 2002 As the bus in which I was a passenger passed our local hospital, the little boy on the seat in front of me leaned against his mother’s arm. Up to then he had remained very quiet and still. “Daddy doesn’t love me, does he?” he said suddenly. “How can you say such a thing!” exclaimed his mother in surprise. “He doesn’t!” insisted the little boy. “Don’t ever say that again,” scolded the mother. “You know he loves you very much.” “He never said so when I came out of hospital like you did.” “Of course he did,” the mother answered without hesitation. “When?” insisted the boy. “I never heard him.” “Well, don’t you remember when Daddy spent the whole evening fixing your train? That’s when he told you he loved you.” The little boy wrinkled his nose and glanced suspiciously at his mother. “Is that when Daddy said it? I didn’t hear him.” Of course the little boy didn’t understand but I felt sure his mother would somehow explain in a way that would be clear to him. Unfortunately, I had to leave them for I had already arrived at my destination. I thought about that brief conversation between the boy and his mother for quite a long time afterwards. Not everyone can express their love in words. To some people “I love you” is one of the hardest things to say. But there are many ways of “saying” I love you. The mother who sits for long hours mending her son’s favourite jacket or alters a dress for her daughter so that it fits to perfection. The young wife who spends hours making the dessert she knows her husband loves, or the husband who brings home little unexpected gifts of flowers or candies. Then there is the humorous proclamation. A friend of mine has a wonderful husband. On her club nights he will wash the dishes, feed the children, put them to bed and do anything else that needs to be done, without so much as a sigh. But when it comes to those three little words she longs to hear, all he can manage is: “I think I’ll trade you in for a new car.” “I used to be quite upset about it,” Mary told me, “but now I understand. He is telling me he loves me - but in his own funny way.” So when we long to hear those three little words - I love you - let us remember there are other ways to “say” this that are just as significant and meaningful if we will only train our hearts and minds as well as our ears to recognize them. The little boy whose father spent the evening mending his toy train will one day understand this, even if his mother is unsuccessful in explaining it to him now. P A G E 24 Life Taught Me...

Every bead was chosen with care. Was it the right colour? Was it the right shape? Did he use just the right amount? Painstakingly, he strung the beads on the pipe cleaner. In my mind’s eye, I can see his little tongue hanging out of his mouth as he threaded the pipe cleaner through the circle of the bead, like he was threading a needle. One minute in a child’s time is like five minutes for an adult. It must have seemed like forever. One bead, two beads... twenty beads. Choosing just the right beautiful colours and just the best shapes. Although he is only four years old, he puts so much thought into his masterpiece for Granny. He knows her favourite colour and attempts to create a masterpiece meant especially for his granny’s eyes. Getting it just the right size to fit her wrist and tying it off so as to never lose any of the “precious” stones to the floor, is a feat of future engineering skills. Dad has taught him well... one day he might follow in his footsteps. After sitting back and admiring it, and making sure it is just right, he packs it away for his 2000 mile plane trip out east to Granny and Grandpa’s house. At just the right moment, he digs it out of his suitcase and presents it to me— Granny. With a look in his eyes of pride and much love he hands his handiwork to me. At first I question why? It’s not a special occasion like my birthday or Mother’s Day or Christmas. Ben has made this just because he loves me, which means so much more! I admire his handiwork and eye to detail. He’s put many of my favourite coloured beads in there and a cluster of many shapes and sizes combine to make a work of art. Ben’s work of love for his granny. Granny’s eyes fill with tears knowing the time, energy and love that was put into it. It goes with everything! I wear it often...and although we are so far apart I feel that he is with me. After all, included in the many things like beads, and pipe cleaners that were assembled to make this treasure...was Ben’s love.
