Today is Valentines Day and it seems there are mixed emotions from people about this day and what it means. Some feel it is a contrived "Hallmark Holiday" created to make money off the suckers who buy in to the hype (like ME!!!!!) I for one, have always loved Valentine's Day. I love the pink and red, the hearts, flowers and chocolates and having an excuse to make the day a little more special than usual! I don't think it is only for those in a relationship, but a day for celebrating "love" in general and the appreciation and love we feel for our parents, children & friends. Since I was a kid, my Mom always made this day special. She would set the dinner table with extra touches...flowers & pretty napkins. We'd eat dinner and then indulge in a yummy dessert as we opened our Valentine's. So, I think of my Mom with much love on this day for always making me feel loved, Valentine's Day or not. Tonight, I will follow her traditions and enjoy a festive evening with Todd and Emma as we celebrate the loving bond of our little family. I am thinking of Isla today and wish that she was here on earth with us. I bet my Mom is taking care of her in heaven!
I'd like to wish everyone a very happy Valentine's Day full of love and treats!
My little Valentine...love her so much!
Oh Katy! I know your mama is taking good care of baby Isla and Isla is with you, Todd and Emma today giving you all giant hugs! I have said it before and will say it again, you are a very strong, graceful and loving woman!
