As a southerner that has been in war torn countries and seen children suffering, "Bless your heart" has it's true meaning. "Bless your heart" is a is a statement of empathy. Most Southerners shed a tear when they speak those words. True, at times they are offered for fools, such as those who can't understand the true meaning of the words. More's the pity! Bless your heart!
I came upon a child that was scared and burned. I cried, saying, "Bless your heart" as I pulled out my MEDKIT and prayed that I could ease her suffering!

Husband- Bless your heart, dear, but you've been a whale for the last ten years and I still can hardly believe you haven't imploded into a black hole due to the force of your gravity yet, so no matter what you wear, you'll still be a walking pork rind.
