Happy Valentines Day

I loved Valentines Day. Fun things that Mike and I did for the kids. We would cut out construction paper hearts. On each one of them we would write words that we thought described our kids using their initial. Mollie, mighty, magnificent,..... We would then hang then at the level they would walk into on their door with ribon. I can just see Mike hanging them just perfect. He cut out the hearts just so, so. We have gottne up and made them red pancakes shaped like hearts. In their lunch a love note. Now do I think they even remember any of this, prbably not, (becasue they still don't think I went on field trips, samuel and I never missed) What I do remeber is how much I enjoyed doing it with Mike. How he grew so much in getting presents for me. He was so good at it in the last 5 years. Made me feel special with just little things. Silly notes. I found them when I was cleaning our his files. Special to read again. I think sometimes I can't think anymore of MIke. Like I will scream for thoughts to fly through my mind. Then other times I get such peace from it. I know at times I am not patient. Get irritated at the silliesst things. People repeating themselves, lines. Negative conversation. I said to one of Mollies friends in the car who had said something about another girl "You are so not talking about someone in my car. Yulk" I would have been more tackful, still said it but nicer. Now I am finding that I really just want the shortest a-z. Everything is a process. Enjoy so much your loved ones. I am going out right now to get some special things for the kids.
