I love you

I went shopping today.  This evening I was showing Joel and the kids the things I had bought.  Emily exclaimed " For my Birthday!!" when she saw her clothes.  I told her "No,these aren't for you birthday, they are just because I love you."  She immediately turns to me, gives me a hug and says, "Thank you for my "I love you"!!"  My heart melted.  I think this is one of the most precious and profound things I have heard in a while.  How often do I thank people for their "I love you"s?  Or do I just take them for granted?
