A Valentine for you




     I remember as a child in school making red paper hearts for our parents. My mom saved everyone in her box of childhood treasures. I remember giving my first girlfriend a red heart filled with chocolates and a Hallmark card. I remember my first Valentines day as a newlywed, giving my young bride a dozen long-stemmed red roses that I had delivered to her job. I remember when my kids made me red paper valentines that I kept in my treasure box of childhood memories. I remember my grandkids giving my children red paper hearts that they put away in their treasure boxes of childhood memories. To me, Valentine's day is so much more than just one day. It's a lifetime of remembering the loves in your life, and red paper hearts safely tucked away to be looked at on a quiet February day.
