The purpose of this letter is to make you feel a little bit better about
the life you live - whether it be by way of a smile, a chuckle, a sigh or
a tear. If you have any item you think would be appropriate for this
letter, please do not hesitate to fax it to me at (416) 597-3370 or e-mail
it to me at haber@gsnh.com, or call me. My direct line is (416) 597-3392.

I am grateful to Leslie Schneeweiss for the following story.

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8
year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got back were broader
and deeper than anyone could have imagined.

See what you think:

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her
toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even
when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." Rebecca - age 8

When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just
know that your name is safe in their mouth." Billy - age 4

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and
they go out and smell each other." Karl - age 5

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your french
fries without making them give you any of theirs." Chrissy - age 6

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." Terri - age 4

"Love is when my Mommy makes coffee for my Daddy and she takes a sip
before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." Danny - age 7

"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing,
you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are
like that. They look gross when they kiss" Emily - age 8

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who
you hate." Nikka - age 6

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it
everyday." Noelle - age 7

"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still
friends even after they know each other so well." Tommy - age 6

"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at
all the people watching me and saw my Daddy waving and smiling. He was the
only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore," Cindy - age 8

"My Mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing
me to sleep at night." Clare - age 6

"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken." Elaine-age 5

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is
handsomer than Robert Redford." Chris - age 7

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all
day."
Mary Ann - age 4

"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes
and has to go out and buy new ones." Lauren - age 4

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars
come out of you" Karen - age 7

"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you
mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget," Jessica - age 8

And the final one -

Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked
to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.
(Now this will melt your heart.) 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 him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said,
"Nothing, I just helped him cry."
