Real Talk

I had a conversation with some international students today at lunch:



Me: I'm going home this weekend for Father's Day.

-Oh, we will miss you.

- Will you say to your father, "I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU!"

Me: Ha ha! Maybe. I don't usually do that.

- In China, it is not common for children to say "I love you" to their parents.

Me: Yeah, actually, when I was growing up, I didn't say it very much, but when I moved to college, I started saying it more.

-*nod heads*

Me: And now I really say it more because in April, there was a big storm and a tree fell on my house. My parents almost died, but they didn't.

-Because of God? He saved them?

Me: Yeah.... because of God...
