That is what my ten year
old asked me. I had to think before I told him It's a time to share how much
you love someone. My son confused at first then added that there doesn't need
to be a special day to say I LOVE YOU! He's right my his daddy always says I
love you with flowers, notes on our chalkboard cabinet and simply just being
there for us. We celebrate life and love daily in our household I'm forever
telling my boys I love them to the moon and back. My little one likes to blow
kisses to us. We pretend to catch his kiss and slap it on our cheek. My oldest
still gives me a kiss before he leaves for school. We decide that this
year we will extend that love by putting a smile on someone else's face.
Write and create a
Valentine's day card for a Senior Citizen. I have to say I have never thought
about this subject too often since I went to Mother Daughter work day when I
was a teenager. My mother has taken care of elderly people all her life. It was
sad to see all those men and women sitting in there rooms doing nothing but
rioting away. No one to talk to no one to care to stop by and say hello. It's
sad so let's spread the love together sign up today to make someone SMILE!
