Saying it Vs Showing it

Hey,

Ever expressed your love for someone?

Verbally, using those magic words "I Love You"? 

Yes? 

What about choosing it to show in action?

A Man stood by my side today, in the scorching heat, in a crowded queue, for long hours standing outside.. 

without a sign of irritation on his face,

without a word of complaint,

without any single tantrum,

And this is not the First time, neither will it be the last time he is ready to take up on any discomfort for my sake

He stood like a pillar in my ups and downs, even before I saw the light of this world..

It's just one of the million times he showed his Love for me, without saying it, but I could hear it loud and clear..

The lady of the home had my favourite drink ready which she served as soon as I reached home..

She spent the whole day in the kitchen to prepare additional special dishes of my liking..which when served made me forget the rough day and overwhelmed with only gratitude..

Did she expect my appreciation for this , No?

Did she take any credit for her kind thoughtfulness, No?

Did she care about her delayed lunch time, extra effort in the kitchen, No?

She just did what she thought could make me happy, as I had "not a very good day"...

 I know, she will do everything in her capacity, every time, to see me happy..

Each of her thoughts, efforts, and considerations shouted Love loudly that a deaf could hear too..

Recently I met with a minor road accident, it was all due to my fault so no complaints. I was riding my scooter and had to take a sharp turn of course owing to the beautiful comfort of our roads. I fell down and got a minor injury on my leg..

My brother who was in the back seat, rushed to take care of me, looking at my legs, checking on injury and then helping me settle.

When I asked if you suffered any scratches or something - he denied very blatantly saying his thick jeans protected him well.

I started after a while, we rode for another 2-3 hours before we could reach home. I didn't hear any single ahh from his mouth, so I also bought what he said.

Three days passed by, and when he chose to put on his fav shorts today, I saw the deep bloodied wound on his leg, which he still didn't let anyone know about at home, not even me. I saw it and figured out that it was that minor accident. 

Not only did he hide his pain, so that I don't get worried or feel guilty, but also he chose not to mention this to anyone in the family, so that no one says anything to me..

He didn't choose to taunt me or comment about the mistake, he understood and just stayed patient and empathetic with me, explaining what I could have done to avoid that sharp turn..

Best part, he trusted me again and said - let's go for another ride, he would be my pillion rider..

The display of Love could have never been grander than this..

Saying "I love you" is one thing but choosing to show Love in every way, every day, through small big actions, thoughtful considerations, trust and affection, is Everything!!!

Love in action is the purest of its all forms..
