Valentine's Day 1999 found me single and with out a date (as did most Valentines until I met my husband). I was in college, sharing an apartment with 5 other girls, and loving it. I did not mind that I didn't have a date, because my roommates and I always had so much fun together, no matter what others were celebrating. On this Valentines Day though, I was to be taken by surprise. One of my roommates gave each of us a card. I don't remember what the card said. I do remember the gesture, and Valentines Day was never to be the same again. It was no longer about romantic love for me.
This Valentines day we will be delivering cards to those that mean the most to us! I want my boys to use Valentines Day as a reminder to say I love you, to ALL the important people in our lives, not just our spouse. So we are currently in the process of making valentine cards and will be delivering them to friends and family on Thursday. Then we will share a nice dinner together, ALL of us, as a family, so that we can read the valentines cards that we have made for each other! I love sharing Valentines Day with ALL of my family, not just my husband.
