The Sweetest Text Messages That Have Ever Worn a Smile on My Face

Sometimes, the sweetest text messages come from unexpected corners. These brief exchanges can touch the deepest parts of our hearts, even from someone we don't know well. Today, I want to share some of the most heart-warming messages that have blessed my life, often from people I only mean to be cordial with.

Forever and Ever: Heartfelt Affection

One text message that immediately brings a smile to my face is: “I love you forever and always and I cannot imagine my life without you. Best Wishes and God Bless.” This simple yet powerful message from a colleague he considers a friend, serves as a constant reminder of the unconditional love we can still find in this world.

Messages from a Distance: A Son's Love

Not every sweet text is from a loved one living nearby. My youngest son, who lives six hours away from me, makes each call and each message a special occasion. We see each other only a few times a year, but the sweet texts he sends are full of love and care. At the end of our conversations, he always adds: “I miss you and love you.” No matter how few times we get to meet in person, these words make a world of difference.

A Friend’s Unconditional Care: True Sorrow

Out of all the sweet texts I’ve been fortunate to receive, one stands out as the most precious to my heart. When I was suffering from crippling depression and chronic suicidal ideation, the very act of reaching out to my best friend only to hear him say “You don’t have to care” but then adding: “I care because there is nothing sadder to me in the whole world than the thought of you not being a part of it,” was a lifeline of support. It’s the sweetest message I have ever received, and it has changed my perspective on life.

Simplicity with A Deep Meaning: A Daily Greeting

Some of the most heart-warming messages are incredibly simple. My friend in India has been sending me “Good morning” and “Goodnight” every single day for the past three years. Even when I forget to respond, or when he might be occupied, he never misses a day. It’s a small gesture, but it means the world to me. The consistent reminder that he’s there and cares deeply is a constant touch of warmth in my life.

A Father’s Promise: Love Across Miles

Recently, I went on a five-day trip with my father and two sisters to Detroit, Michigan. My husband, who was driving us, sent me a heartfelt message while we were at the airport: “Away... When you are away, I will hold them closer, listen to them breathe in the soft hours of morning; when you are away, I will speak to them gentler, pray for the hum of their kiss when you are away, I will hear you in his voice, see you in her eyes, and be still in the hours between us. I love you, MarQuette Mason.” These words captured the essence of what being away means and his love for our children.

These sweet text messages, whether full of emotion or simply an everyday greeting, serve as reminders of the love, care, and support that surround us even in the absence of physical presence. They are the gentle touch of love that we often overlook but cherish deeply when we feel them.
