"Don't forget to set your alarm. Hey, it's almost 7. Put on a sweater. I've cut you some fruits. Here, let me make you toast. Would you like coffee? Just have a seat! Why do you have to always try and help? I can do this for you. No, you have it. I was thinking of spending Friday with you. Thank you for helping me with laundry. What will I do when you're gone?"

"Do you know what you want next? You're always welcomed home. Here, I printed these info for you. You're a grown-up now. I trust your choices. Here, have some water. Let me get your bag. Is it too hot? Let's order more food. What would you like to watch? You have the last slice of cake. Are you all packed? Do you need help? Let me know if you do. Socks will keep you warm on your flight. Do you have enough?" 

These are the ways you say I love you. 

"Yes I've had enough. Let me do this for you. You need to learn to accept help. I'll help you download Instagram. You can follow me. If you like something, click here. What would you like me to download? What would you like to eat? I bought your favourite whiskey. I know you like cheeses. You look great in that. He likes a Cordon Bleu. I'll make you toast. Here, have my dress. Relax, let me help you while I'm here."

Because this is how I say I love you too.
