What Love means to a 4-8 year old . . .                                     I Got this in an email, had to share. We can learn so much from children, if only we could see the world as they do, how much a better place it would be! :)

                        And the final one                        The winner was a four year old child whose  next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his  wife.                        Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went  into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.                        When his Mother asked what he had said to the  neighbor, the little boy said,                        'Nothing, I just helped him cry'
