The Name Game

Names are very special.  You can communicate a lot of love when saying a name or even when just writing/typing it in a note.  I love to hear people say my name.  I haven't figured out which love language this falls under; maybe it is its own category.

Throughout my life people have had many names for me.  The majority call me by the name my parents gave me: Lauren.  In high school "Millsies" became common.  In college I grew into my last name: Mills. 

At camp, mis chiquitos call me "Lorena."  I love it.  It's the translation of my name into Spanish.  It sounds pretty, yes.  But this isn't the reason that I love to hear it.  I like it because it's spoken with love.  They only call me "Lorena" when they're pleased with me or need me to help them.  It always puts a smile on my face to hear it. :)

I wish I could write "I love you" to each and every one of you individually, but that would be a LOT of typing.  So here's what I'll do instead: (Insert your name), I love you.  Just know that I'm thinking it and sending love to you.
