my eyes brimmed with tears
it seemed to take forever
my first Valentine

As a first grader in school, I thought the teacher would never hand me a card from anyone. Everyone at my table had at least one and in tears I longed to hear my name called out.

my best Valentine
red, foil “I Love You” balloon
from a teen-age son

At an age, when parents are non-existent, our church youth had a balloon fund-raiser and my son bought a balloon for me.

“puppy love” spelled out
my worst Valentine mem’ry
the gift of a dog

When our son married and took his dog, my husband suffered terribly from dog-withdrawal. The next Valentine’s Day he showed up with
a new puppy and I can’t remember anything else in my shock.He knew how much I hate dogs.

present

Valentine's Day is my 55th birthday. The doctor told my mother I was "too smart to live" and would be dead by my 5th birthday. (All because I cried when he drew his hand back to spank me!)

Mostly, when I think of Valentine's Day it's the exchange of love and gifts between those who are in love - married or dating couples. Yet, it's the love of friends (for those who are single and not in a relationship) that is so very meaningful and lasting. In His wisdom, God did not only mean love for lovers. Today, I have been touched by the blessing of love today from the Lord and my friends. I feel exceptionally blessed and fortunate. If you've been touched like this, then you are, too. Happy Valentine's Day to everyone.
