When I asked my 11-year-old son, Tristan, to help unload dirt for his mom’s garden, he groaned, sighed, and dragged his feet. I told him, “When you love someone, you serve them.”

He didn’t say much — just helped me finish. The next day, my wife sent me a photo: Tristan shoveling dirt on his own. When she asked why, he said, “Because I love you.” 💛

That’s when I realized — he’d been listening all along. Love isn’t about words; it’s about showing up.
