Love Language

Monica 9/29/2021  I want to explain what love means to me.

The way that my parents show me love is by hugging me which is a physical touch.

And the way my boyfriend shows me love is by telling me that I love you. He gets me gifts. My boyfriend gets me gifts because he is loyal, sweet, kind and understanding comforting, loving. My boyfriend’s love language, gift giving and words of affirmation.

My parents have a great heart.

Monica is very caring. Monica cares about everyone and I love spending time with everyone.

I just love spending time with my parents. My love language is quality time.

I show my friends love by helping them out when they need it the most.

Love languages.

The staff here is very nice and caring and very understanding. The staff make me feel loved by providing a safe environment for me. Quality time with my brother is important to me because I miss him when he is not around. I miss him, by texting him and calling him to tell him that I miss you.

The staff here cares about me. And I care about my friends here.

I do not know what I will do without the staff here. This is the best program ever. Because I have lots of friends and they all care about me. They all care about me.

The only love language that I do not have experience with is acts of service. When my friends are feeling upset I can show them Disney movies.

The way you can show me more love is by giving me more empathy and showing me more empathy.
