Happy Valentine's Day

On this Valentine’s Day, I wish you the kind of love and devotion my great grandmother must have enjoyed. Paging through her scrapbook must have brought her great joy as she re-read the cards year after year.

Here are some of her Valentines. You can see others HERE and HERE.

Just a loving greeting, Mother
Meant to say that every year
Makes me realize more clearly
Just how fine you are and dear,
Makes me understand more fully
All you've meant the long years through,
Finds me more sincerely thankful
For a Mother sweet as YOU!

If you could take this card apart
I think you'd find my very heart
Just beating happily and true
With lots and lots of love for you

    1. YES! Although I think your grandmother kept more varied things.
