 | Valentine's Day | for everyone |
Last
night I spent some time listening to CD's of my family talking from
when I was a little girl. Hearing those voices brings back so many
memories, I needed to hear them. I can't stop listening to my Mom say
my name. I of course heard my Daddy's voice on there too and I always
think of him on Valentine's Day, he always made it so special. He always
bought my Mom and I each a box of chocolates; I always looked forward
to the box! I could tell each one was especially picked out just for me
because they changed as I grew older, but each one made me feel special
to him. I remember the year the box changed from looking like a little
girl's Valentine to a woman's Valentine, I was probably 12 or 13. I wish
now I had saved them! He rarely said he loved me, was hardly ever
around, and so many presents my Mom picked out and signed his name to,
but he always chose the Valentines; I'm sure that's what made them so
special. I remember the year he bought my Mom a red Pontiac!! It wasn't
new, none of the cars he ever bought were, but she loved that car!! I am thankful that I married someone who makes this day special too. This morning we went out to breakfast alone together and tonight we are going to see The Association in concert. I slept in until 8:00 this morning which is unheard of, then I took a nap this afternoon, yet I'm still really tired, but I want very much to enjoy this night.
