My Valentines
Truly I am blessed. I’m in awe of my three valentines…my husband and my two boys. I have received so much love– by way of affection, poetic words, service, teaching, sacrifice, even drawings–from my husband that my heart can barely hold it. And I was overcome, overwhelmed by my oldest son’s affection to me today. While putting them to bed in our nightly ritual, he clung to my neck and wouldn’t let me go. So I lay there for some time in his arms. My 4 year old boy, who hardly knows the meaning of Valentines, melted my heart. I will treasure it in my heart all my days. And sweetest little Daniel…I’m undone sometimes when he looks at me with his big eyes and says mama. Three valentines!
