Sure, it's easy to dream about that greener grass on the other side of the fence, and yeah (!) I'd still love to have that blue Tiffany box, but occasionally I am reminded of what real love looks like. And this time it was in the form of this little note that my kindergartner surprised me with, so proud of her own spelling skills.
Real love is when your four year old gives you a goldfish cracker crumb hug, when your man helps you sand down a project because he knows your hands are getting tired, when your dog wants to snuggle on the couch after a long day, when your six year old sneaks off to the living room to pen you a love note.
Forget the Tiffany box...I'd say I have it pretty good.
Happy Valentine's Day!
I LOVE this! Happy Valentine's Day:)
ReplyDeleteBoy that brought back memories. I have a very similar note, written on a VERY tiny piece of paper, it basically says, "I "picture of heart" mom" I still have it to this very day, even though it split in two (I had carried it in my wallet for years). Now it resides in a pretty silver heart my husband gave me a few years ago. It really is the little things!!
ReplyDeleteAww sooo sweet:) And so true! Hope you have a wonderful day with lots of real love!
ReplyDeleteAww. It's always the little things that mean the most. Happy Valentine's Day!

Oh so sweet! I couldn't agree with you more that the real signs of love don't come in a box!

ReplyDeleteSo sweet! I love getting little valentine cards from my kids at school. It means so much to me that they saved one of their Valentines for me (I am a special education teacher, so I don't have a class of my "own" exactly)!
