Love is not only expressed in big gestures.

Love is not only expressed in big gestures. It is also the decision to put the phone down, remember a detail, ask a second question, and listen without preparing your reply. People feel valued when they do not have to compete with distraction to be heard. Presence tells them: this moment with you is not something I am merely getting through. Give the people you love the kind of attention that makes them feel safe to be fully themselves.
